Database of Chiller Curves

Is anyone aware of a good (up to date) database of curves of some of the major chillers on the market (not necessarily the curves in energy model (DOE) format, but the data needed to build those curves)? I know there used to be one from some EnergyPlus source and it’s been included in IES, but they are old and don’t match current products. It looked like the TPEX.org site was going to do it, but don’t seem to have a chiller category.

It seems that every project I work on I have the same conversations with manufacturer reps who don’t know where to get the curves. Once I get ahold of the engineering department of the manufacturer then I can usually get some data, but I can’t always get there.
