Design of Electronic System for Control of Parameters in an Incubator

Abstract

Temperature and humidity are the most important factors that must be controlled during egg incubation. The irrelevant temperature and humidity values during the incubation period often result in unwanted conditions. This paper introduces a design and implementation of an electronic control unit for an incubator. In order to achieve a high degree of hatching in the incubators, it is necessary to ensure precise maintenance of the parameters of the indoor microclimate. In this work, an electronic system for controlling the temperature and humidity of the air has been developed and investigated. For this purpose, a block diagram of the system has been developed, a basic electrical circuit of the electronic module has been built, and the individual blocks of the electronic system have been designed. Simulation and experimental results for the operation of the system have been obtained.
