Is the Chilled water cooling coil total load same as the chiller capacity?

Hi group, I am new to EnergyPlus, is chiller capacity same as the chilled water cooling coil total load?

Please clear my doubt.

The report variable Cooling Coil Total Cooling Rate is actually the air-side total cooling rate and should be equal to the water-side load on the plant imposed by the water coil. You can test this by calculating the water-side energy rate using the mass flow rate of the water coil outlet node (using the report variable System Node Mass Flow Rate) and multiplying by the water-side enthalpy difference between water coil inlet and outlet node ( difference of System Node Enthalpy at water coil inlet and outlet). This load is passed to the plant and is added to any pump heat or piping losses (may be 0 if not modeled) to equal the total chiller load (Chiller Evaporator Cooling Rate).
