Chiller oversized

I let eQuest auto-size the chillers for a project I am working
on, and it comes out that the report "PS-D Circulation Loop
Loads" shows a peak of 2,435 kBtu/h and "PV-A Plant Design
Parameters" as well as "PS-H Loads and Energy Usage for Chilled
Water Loop" shows the chillers sized for 7.126 MBTU/h. It is
sizing the chillers for almost 2x the peak load.

On a second run I sized each chiller (2x) for half the peak
load, but I still see the same numbers on PV-A and PS-H.

What does it mean, a bug that nobody fixed yet?

Can anybody tell me what is going on, or if I am making an
interpretation mistake?

Thanks

Let me know if these files are enough.
