Hatchtech pre-humidification unit ensures uniform and superior chick quality

Dr. Inge van Roovert-Reijrink M.Sc.

Before outside air enters the incubator, the air passes an air handling unit. In an air handling unit, the air temperature is increased to 25ºC. In the air handling unit, the air temperature rises, but the relative humidity of the air decreases. The HatchTech Pre-Humidification unit is positioned behind the air handling unit, before the air enters the incubator. In the air handling unit, the air temperature is increased and the Pre-Humidification unit adds water droplets of 1 micron to the air to increase relative humidity. When the air has passed the air handling unit and the Pre-Humidification unit, it has always a temperature of 25ºC and a relative humidity of 50%. The humidification system in the incubator itself is still needed to fine tune the relative humidity, but the use of the humidification system is minimized. A humidification system that sprays often creates variation in eggshell temperatures within the incubator and negatively affects hatchability and chick quality.
