Infants ??????????

• Premature infants are babies born prior to the
  normal 36 or 37 days, so they are unable to
  control there temperature with the new
  environment and also they could have some
  problems with their respiratory systems so as the
  heart diseases.
• Heat is lost via evaporative, conductive,
  convective and radiative means as shown in figure
  (1).

What is Infant Incubator

• Infant incubator is a biomedical device which
  provides warmth, humidity, and oxygen all in a
  controlled environment as needed by the new born.
• It can be consider as therapy device.

Parameters Control in Infant Incubator

• Temperature control.
• Air temperature mode
• Skin temperature mode
• Humidity control.
• Humidity is defined as the percent of water
  evaporated molecules in the air.
• This is important for an infant baby, because if
  level of humidity was low the baby's skin will be
  dry and cause a lot of health problems to him.
• Humidity probe
• humidity transducer.Humidity transducers
  principle is the capacitive changing types that
  mean any change in humidity will cause a change
  in capacitive and the change in capacitive will
  be translated to a change in voltage using bridge
  circuit.
• Oxygen control.
