Abstract:The temperature fields of the incubators were investigated based on the fundamental model of incubator, using finite element method by applying finite elements. Moreover, the Thermal-Fluid Couple by Fluent was analyzed, and the temperature field was validated by experiment. Three common thermal insulation material including XPS, EPU and VIP were selected, and the temperature fields distribution of different materials were studied by the computer simulation. The results showed when using the different insulation materials, the internal temperature field were different, and the internal temperature of VIP incubator were closest to the phase change temperature of cool storage agent and with the temperature distribution uniformity best. The three materials showed excellent thermal barrier properties, and among them VIP had the best thermal barrier performance with lowest temperature comparing to EPU and XPS.
