Water jacket carbon dioxide incubator refers to a material that relies on heated water inside the chamber wall to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the incubator. Due to the high thermal capacity of water, they can maintain the required temperature for a long time, which is beneficial for multiple door openings or power outages

Disadvantages of water jacket carbon dioxide incubator:

Filling and heating the incubator may take time, so the water jacket incubator requires a longer start-up process. Once the chamber walls are filled with water, the incubator becomes very heavy and difficult to move. Considering that stagnant warm water is an ideal place for pollutant growth.

Another disadvantage of water jacket incubators is that algae and bacteria can easily grow indoors. In addition, if the wrong type of water is used, the incubator may rust, which may result in expensive maintenance costs.

This requires a little more maintenance than the air jacket CO2 incubator, as the water jacket CO2 incubator must be emptied and cleaned to solve this problem.

The air jacket CO2 incubator is considered a substitute for water jacket. They are lighter, set faster, provide similar temperature uniformity, and typically require less maintenance. They provide faster recovery after opening the door.

This is because the air jacket incubator can adjust the temperature on/off cycle based on the air temperature inside the chamber after opening the door. The air jacket CO2 incubator is also suitable for high-temperature sterilization, with a temperature of over 180 ° C, which cannot be achieved using a water jacket CO2 incubator.

If contaminated, traditional purification methods (such as high temperature) or more effective methods (such as ultraviolet and H2) can be used to quickly purify the air jacket incubator.
