[TRNSYS-users] Type 641 (Humidifier TESS Libary) - Version 17.025

[David BRADLEY]

Roberto,
   You are correct, there is a mistake in the code. RH values at the 
TRNSYS user-interface level (ie inputs and outputs) are on a 0-100% 
scale. The psychrometrics routine inside TRNSYS, however, treats RH as a 
fraction instead (0-1) so we have to convert inputs and then convert 
them back. The input value conversion was not done. Thanks for pointing 
out the error. If I send you edited code are you able to compile and 
link it? If not, we can send you a modified DLL (i.e. already compiled 
and linked).
Best,
  David
