Geothermal heat pump applied eggs incubation.

Number: 1032

Author(s) : SANTOS A. F., GASPAR P. D., SOUZA H. J. L. de

Summary

An incubator for eggs is proposed with a heating based on hybrid geothermal heat pump technology, with more effective ventilation, temperature, and humidity controls than are currently produced on the world market. A prototype was developed from a conventional incubator, replacing the resistive heat source with a heat source based on heat pump technology, using a conventional unit from a small refrigerator. The data obtained in the conversion of electrical energy into thermal energy made it possible to calculate the COP of 3 Watt/Watt, proving that it is possible to significantly reduce the electrical energy consumption of egg incubators.
