The 4 Cases considered for HYD Fluid Properties

Case 1: P > Psat there is no vapor and all air/gas is dissolved
Case 2: PHvap< P < Psat there is no vapor and part of the air/gas is dissolved and part free
Case 3: PLvap < P < PHvap there is some vapor and ALL the air/gas is free
Case 4: P < PLvap there is vapor and air/gas but NO LIQUID

That can be schematized on the following picture:
