INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE REGULATING DEVICE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY MONITORING ON PERFORMANCE OF A NATURAL CONVECTIVE HEATED INCUBATOR
Journal Title: Annals. Food Science and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
The effect of temperature regulating device and relative humidity monitoring was carried out on a natural convective heated incubator. The experimental rig was used to evaluate the performance of the temperature regulating device and relative humidity in a natural convective heated incubator. A natural convective heated incubator experimental rig was designed, constructed and evaluated. The effect of temperature regulating device and relative humidity monitoring was carried out on a natural convective heated incubator. The temperature monitoring unit was made of ether and copper sheet and placed in the incubating chamber. The source of heat was kerosene stove. The performance of the incubator was done at no load and when loaded with fertile eggs for the two stages of experiments that were carried out. The incubator was observed to operate between 350C – 390C dry bulb temperature and 54% - 75% relative humidity respectively. The size of the aperture opening of the temperature regulating device was used to evaluate the performance of the device. The results of the t-test analysis of the effects of temperature regulating device on a natural heated incubator was 1.25 and 0.21 respectively at 5% probability level. The effects of the average dry bulb temperature on a natural heated incubator were 0.12 and 0.17 respectively at 5% probability level. The average temperature ranged from 350C to 390C while average relative humidity ranged from 60% to 83% respectively.
