A high humidity markedly reduces evaporative heat loss [12, 13,32,33]. 5 °C of the set temperature, whereas incubators with double walls have more uniform temperature distributions. The temperature of the incubator walls varies markedly between different types of incubators [31]. Those with single walls generally have cooler inner hood surfaces than those with double walls [31]. There are therefore obvious differences in the contributions of the different modes of heat exchange depending on the incubator in which the baby is nursed.
3: Heat exchange through evaporation, radiation and convection in relation to gestational age at RHamb 20 %, 40 % and 60 %. SD = Standard Deviation [13]. 28 Thennodynamic Principles The heat exchange by convection is dependent on the gestational age of the infant and on the ambient humidity. At all the humidities studied, heat is gained by convection in infants born between 25 and 30 weeks of gestation, and heat loss by convection is low in moderately preterm and term infants. -1. To keep the infant's thermal balance at a steady state, the servo-control system of the incubator, which controls the skin temperature, increases the temperature of the air, which also leads to an increase in the temperature of the incubator walls.
