Chiller type and EIR

I am having trouble setting up a parametric run to determine the
benefits of a new chiller. I want to replace an old reciprocating
chiller with a centrifugal one and I want to change the EIR to the IECC
2009 specification for centrifugal chillers. When I change the chiller
type, save it, and go back, the data modifications box is blank. If i
try to make both of these data modifications in the parametric
component, eQuest either crashes, won't let me put in both options, or
erases my changes when I go back to check them. Any idea why I can't
seem to change the chiller type /and /EIR?

Thanks,
Ben

Sir:

The Gospel according to eQuest:

1) Thou shall not change a SYSTEM in a Parametric Run
2) Thou shall not change an EQUIPMENT-TYPE in a Parametric Run.

HOWEVER, you CAN run an entirely dirrent run (call it Chiller Run or something),
then you can call in this run as a Parametric Run.

Please attached.

Then you will have the "slingshot" to "smot" the Philistine.
