Re: [TRNSYS-users] Psychrometrics

Jérôme,
  What is most likely happening is that at a pressure of 1atm, your combination of the dry bulb temperature and the absolute humidity ratio are on the wrong side of the saturation line. Since that is physically impossible, the psychometric routine  keeps your dry bulb temperature and resets the absolute humidity ratio to the value it would be if the relative humidity were 100%.
Best,
 David

Hello,
i'm using a psychrometrics type with dry bulb temperature and absolute humidity ratio in inputs. Pressure input is set to 1 atm.

I have noticed that sometimes there is a difference between the input humidity ratio and the output humidity ratio. The difference ratio is about 1 to 12%.

Could someone explain to me why this difference happens?

Thank you
