Chiller:Electric:EIR model default curves for industrial cooling process

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a chiller model for simulation. The chillers are used to cool an injection molding process and it is planned to use decentralized, small chillers. I was wondering if I can use the Chiller:Electric:EIR model, especially the default curve coefficients as a first indication. For example I like to use the Electric Input Ratio as a function with respect to the Part Load Ratio: EIR=a+b×PLR+c×PLR^2

Or is the model or the curve itself only applicable for HVAC systems?

Thanks a lot.
