ENERGY SAVING INCUBATOR FOR FARMERS AND PERSONAL HOUSEHOLDS

Abstract

The production facilities of the modern park of industrial, farm and home incubators are analyzed; the basic technical problems of their design are determined. The imperfect equipment of domestic domestic and practical absence of farm incubators as well as their relatively high energy consumption significantly restrain the production of agricultural poultry production. On the basis of the analysis of the heat transfer equation through the walls of the enclosing structure of the incubator, the main factors that significantly affect the thermal energy loss are determined. The conclusion is made on the reduction of thermal losses by making the enclosure design of the incubator on the basis of modern heat-insulating materials and replacement of the electromechanical system of the rotation of the incubation material. The design of an original energy-efficient incubator, which can be made both in farm and household implements and used on small farms and farms, is described. For the automatic local and remote control of the microclimate of the incubator an "intelligent" automatic system is developed. The use of a personal computer in conjunction with the network of devices "TRC 02 Universal+" of domestic production allows representing the measured values of the parameters of the process of incubation in digital and graphical forms, as well as locally and remotely control the parameters. As a mechanism for inverting the incubation material, a tray with gravitational turning is used, which reduces electricity consumption and simplifies the process of turning the incubation material.
