The Incubator is a kind of equipment used for material storage, testing, experimentation and other operations at a constant temperature. It can maintain a stable heat source at a set temperature, allowing materials to be stored, tested, and experimented at a constant temperature.
The Incubator is usually composed of a heating system, a control system, a working room, and an inlet and outlet device. Heating systems usually use electric heating elements, gas stoves or steam heating to heat the air to a set temperature. The control system can precisely control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and time to meet the needs of storage, testing, and experimentation of different materials. The design and construction of the working room and the feeding and discharging device will also vary according to different usage scenarios and material requirements.
common problem
The temperature reading is inaccurate.
The temperature is unstable.
The device is heating or cooling unevenly.
The device makes noise or vibration.
An error occurred in program operation.
Solution
Temperature Calibration: Place the thermometer in the Incubator and set the Incubator to a known temperature. After waiting for a period of time, compare the thermometer reading with the temperature reading displayed by the Incubator. If there is a difference, a calibration adjustment is required. Calibration can be performed by adjusting the temperature calibration parameters in the controller.
Equipment Stability Calibration: Place thermometers at several locations inside the Incubator and set the Incubator to a known temperature. After waiting for a period of time, compare whether the readings of each metering point are consistent. If there is a difference, a stability calibration adjustment is required. This can be done by adjusting how and where the heating, cooling and fans work, and by adjusting the position of items inside the Incubator.
Equipment Uniformity Calibration: Place several thermometers inside the Incubator and set the Incubator to a known temperature. After waiting for a period of time, compare whether the readings of each metering point are consistent. If there is a difference, a uniformity calibration adjustment is required. This can be done by adjusting how and where the heating, cooling and fans work, and by adjusting the position of items inside the Incubator.
Equipment noise or vibration treatment: If there is noise or vibration in the Incubator, it is necessary to check whether the heating, cooling, fan and other equipment are operating normally, and check whether the items inside the Incubator are stable. The problem can be solved by adjusting the position of the equipment, checking the power voltage and ground wire, etc.
Error handling in program operation: If an error occurs in program operation, it is necessary to reset the program or adjust the parameters in the controller.
North and South Chao reminds you: the Incubator needs to be calibrated and maintained regularly. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean the interior of the equipment, check the performance and condition of heating, cooling, control, sensors and other equipment, and replace or repair problematic parts in time. In addition, it is recommended to carry out maintenance according to the operation manual of the equipment and the maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
Precautions
In the process of using the Incubator, you also need to pay attention to the following points:
Reasonably arrange the placement of the samples to ensure that the samples can be subjected to a uniform temperature distribution.
Do not accumulate too much sundries or samples inside the Incubator to avoid affecting the operation of the equipment and the accuracy of the data.
According to actual needs, the temperature range and accuracy of the Incubator should be reasonably selected to avoid inaccurate test data due to mismatching of equipment parameters.
Before testing, excellent preheat treatment is performed to ensure that the equipment can reach the required temperature conditions.
During the use of equipment, record temperature changes and test data in time, and analyze and process them as needed.
In short, the Incubator is a commonly used laboratory equipment, but it is necessary to pay attention to the use and maintenance of the equipment during use to ensure the stability of the equipment and the accuracy of the test data.
