Incubator and method thereof

An incubator comprising:

• a vertical support structure;
• a plurality of horizontal columns connected to a bottom end of the vertical support structure to form a base portion of the incubator;
• a humidification system attachable to at least the base portion;
• a radiant warmer mounted on a top end of the vertical support structure;
• and
• a crib detachably mounted on the vertical support structure above the base portion, the crib comprising:
• a base plate;
• a plurality of plates arranged to form side walls of the crib;
• and
• a plurality of dispenser nozzles disposed in at least one of the plurality of plates, the plurality of dispenser nozzles being configured to supply water vapors to create a virtual vapor envelope inside the crib,
• wherein the radiant heat warmer is configured to supply a radiant heat energy to the crib of the incubator, and wherein each of the plurality of dispenser nozzles comprise an inlet fluidly connected to a flow controlling mechanism that selectively controls the supply water vapors through each of the plurality of dispenser nozzles individually from the humidification system.

A method to control humidity in a crib of an incubator, the method comprising:

• measuring humidity inside the crib using a plurality of humidification sensors;
• comparing the measured humidity from each of the humidification sensors with preset humidity values using a control unit;
• and
• controlling a supply of water vapors through a plurality of dispenser nozzles disposed on side walls of the crib based on a comparison by the control unit, wherein the control unit regulates at least one of a humidification system and solenoid valves to control the supply of the water vapors to each of the plurality of dispenser nozzles individually.
