Psychrometric state and crop verdicts — DGH Climate Engine

The air state

Outdoor: 43 °C at 12 % by day, 31 °C at 22 % by night; day length 13.6 h.

Tiers	Day °C	Night °C	24 h mean °C	Grade	Class	Next rung	Link
vent, fog	23.9	19.8	22.16	inside	comfort	none	open
Air temperature sits outside the recipe band and within the grading envelope. The envelope is about as wide as the leaf model resolves, so the state reads as comfort rather than as a departure from target.
vent	43.0	31.0	37.80	above	risk	fog	open
Air temperature lies beyond the tolerance limit the crop record states by more than the stress margin. Tissue damage and loss of the crop follow while the state holds. Fog cools by evaporating water into the air the crop stands in, so the temperature falls and the humidity rises together, down to the margin that keeps water off the crop.

Outdoor: 41 °C at 45 % by day, 33 °C at 70 % by night; day length 13.4 h.

Tiers	Day °C	Night °C	24 h mean °C	Grade	Class	Next rung	Link
vent, fog	32.9	31.2	32.17	above	stress	semi_closed	open
Air temperature has passed the tolerance limit the crop record states and stays within the stress margin beyond it. The crop survives; yield and quality carry a direct penalty for as long as the state holds. A semi-closed greenhouse holds a setpoint mechanically rather than evaporatively, and dries the air by controlled condensation to the margin the crop record states, keeping enriched air where the crop is.
semi_closed	21.0	18.5	19.90	inside	comfort	none	open
Air temperature sits inside the blended recipe band for this radiation level. The crop holds its target temperature.

Air temperature sits inside the blended recipe band for this radiation level. The crop holds its target temperature.

Air temperature has passed the tolerance limit the crop record states and stays within the stress margin beyond it. The crop survives; yield and quality carry a direct penalty for as long as the state holds. Ventilation moves the greenhouse toward the outdoor air, which is as far as opening the vents can take it.
