It seems like Chiller:Absorption:Indirect does not reflect the input of condenser temperature curve. I tried different curves several times but the results were exactly the same. Does anyone know the reason?

Looking at the source code at NREL's github (, the code seems to refer to the generator inlet temperature, not the condenser inlet temperature, as pasted below. It might be a bug?

if (this->GeneratorInletNodeNum > 0) {
    if (this->HeatInputFCondTempPtr > 0) {
        HeatInputfCondTemp =
            CurveManager::CurveValue(state, this->HeatInputFCondTempPtr, state.dataLoopNodes->Node(this->GeneratorInletNodeNum).Temp);
    } else {
        HeatInputfCondTemp = 1.0;
