Experimental Research of Working Processes in the Thermal Unit of a Bacteriological Incubator

Abstract

Currently, one of the most common devices used in the cultivation of various microorganisms is an incubator that provides stable temperature conditions inside of the device. Typical design of a bacteriological incubator is considered in this paper and a set of experimental researches is carried out to determine temperature distribution in the working cavity of the device. The parameters of the thermostating system that must be maintained in this type of devices to ensure the cultivation of bacteria are defined. Presented results of analysis provided can be used to design pneumatic systems of bacteriological incubators and study their thermal characteristics.
