Energy Plus LoadProfile:Plant from Schedule:File issues

I am creating load profiles for a plant model using an 8760 csv file. The load profiles are the only objects on the demand side of the HHW and CHW loops. When I run the model, the loop demand rates do not match the load profile objects I specified. I have exported the Schedule:FIle object, and that seems to be importing ok, although there are no units associated with it. Does it need units? I didn't think so because as the load schedule it should automatically assume it is [W].

Using EnergyPlus 9.0.1

I am using a CentralHeatPumpSystem Object and have noticed when the flow-rates through the ChillerHeater:EIR are changed, the loop demands change #weird.
