pvdeg.humidity.psat#

pvdeg.humidity.psat(temp, average=True)[source]#

Function calculated the water saturation temperature or dew point for a given water vapor pressure. Water vapor pressure model created from an emperical fit of ln(Psat) vs temperature using a 6th order polynomial fit. The fit produced R^2=0.999813. Calculation created by Michael Kempe, unpublished data.

Parameters:#

tempseries, float

The air temperature (dry bulb) as a time-indexed series [C]

averageboolean, default = True

If true, return both psat serires and average psat (used for certain calcs)

Returns:#

psatarray, float

Saturation point

avg_psatfloat, optional

mean saturation point for the series given
