Abstract: An incubator includes a housing defining a chamber, an air inlet for introducing air into the chamber, and a first air outlet for discharging air from the chamber. The first air outlet is spaced from the air inlet, and a stack of operatively vertically spaced first trays is disposed within the chamber between the air inlet and the first air outlet. A first tilting mechanism is provided for tilting the stack of first trays on a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of operative airflow from the air inlet to the first air outlet. A stack of operatively vertically spaced first deflectors are disposed operatively upstream of the first trays for dividing the airflow from the air inlet to the first air outlet into streams of airflow directed over the first trays.

Abstract: An incubator (10) includes: (i) a housing (12) defining a chamber (14); (ii) an air inlet (16) for introducing air into the chamber (14); (iii) a first air outlet (18) for discharging air from the chamber (14), the first air outlet (18) being spaced from the air inlet (16); (iv) a stack of operatively vertically spaced first trays (22) disposed within the chamber (14), between the air inlet (16) and the first air outlet (18); and (v) a first means for tilting the stack of first trays (22) on a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of operative airflow from the air inlet (16) to the first air outlet (18).
