Abstract

Baby incubator is one of the most important devices to sustain the temperature of a newborn baby, especially the premature baby. Premature babies are weaker at regulating their body temperature due to the lack of brown fat in their tissues. By using baby incubator the body temperature can be maintained easily, however a certain control system is needed to prevent hypothermia or hyperthermia. By using temperature sensor, the temperature can be measured accurately and this information can be used to regulate the output of the heater. Using Arduino and triac, linear control system can be achieved instead of on-off control system and thus preserving the lifetime of the component. To prevent overheating, the system is set so that it will automatically shut-off the power after target has been exceeded and 2.5cm hole is used to let the heat loose. Calibration of the sensor resulted in the accuracy of more than 99%. The power that will be dissipated is controlled linearly whenever the temperature difference is less than 1⁰C.
