Abstract
An infant incubator heater assembly having a heat radiator which is removably mounted, so that it can be removed for cleaning and maintenance. The heat radiator has a plurality of radially extending fins. In the removal and installation of the heat radiator, it slides along a cartridge heater with which the heat radiator is closely fitted for heat transfer. Preferably, the cartridge heater is mounted for self-alignment to accommodate the close fit between the heat radiator and the cartridge heater and prevent binding as the heat radiator is removed or installed.
