Abstract:
1. A process for regulating the temperature of air in an incubator hood, the process comprising the steps of: measuring a temperature of the air; measuring a relative humidity of the air; providing an evaluating and control unit; sending temperature and relative humidity measured values to the evaluating and control unit; operating the evaluating and control unit to form a value for a dew point temperature in the incubator from the temperature and humidity measured values; providing heating wires traversing the incubator hood; operating the evaluating and control unit to power the heating wires to heat the incubator hood to a temperature above the dew point temperature; arranging temperature-dependent electric resistors in electrical connection with the heating wires and in a position where the temperature of the incubator hood influences the resistance of the temperature-dependent electric resistors; and limiting current passing though the heating wires upon the temperature-dependent electric resistors reaching a predetermined temperature.
