Description
Calculate the recovered share of a supplied condensate volume.
Vertical-farm records distinguish nominal growing area from floor footprint, occupied cells from healthy seedlings, and supplied lighting power from photon flux. Energy accumulates power over time, while flux per area is an instantaneous spatial basis. Counts, runtime readings and water shares need consistent periods and references before they can describe a real facility.
Calculate the recovered share of a supplied condensate volume.
When to use this tool
Use Grow Room Condensate Water Recovery when you already have recoveredCondensateVolume, totalCondensateVolume and need to calculate the recovered share of a supplied condensate volume.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recoveredCondensateVolume, totalCondensateVolume. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read fraction, remainder. Use the output convention below.
Require totalCondensateVolume>0 and recovered volume within [0,total]; return recovered/total and total-recovered.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| recoveredCondensateVolume | Recovered Condensate Volume | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| totalCondensateVolume | Total Condensate Volume | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| fraction | Fraction | Required. Finite number. |
| remainder | Remainder | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Volumes share units and accounting period; no water quality, treatment performance or suitability for reuse is checked.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use measured fixture input and runtime logs for energy, a spatially sampled light map for illumination, and verified tray inventories for occupancy. Reconcile volumes and reference periods before extending one local share to a whole facility.
