Abstract
AoSflPEI - A novel system is described for the thermal control of a chamber hosting a gravimeter. The proposed system has been developed by taking into account bofh metrological, economic and power consumption constraints. Experimental data analysk shows the suitabiliry of the proposed approach to improve the thermal insulation of thegravimeter. 1. 1NTRODUCTION Several measuring systems operating in hard environment are deeply influenced by exogenous parameters [l]. This is of course the case of gravimeters working very close to active volcanic areas. A thermal conditioned chamber for gravimeters is proposed, which is based on both a multi-sensor distributed architecture and non-linear signal processing, implemented by using dedicated electronics. Thermal excursions characterized by both daily and seasonal time scales, significantly affect the behavior of continuously running gravimeters. Amplitudes of such dynamics are quite higher than signals actually correlated to gravity excursions [2-3]. Moreover, thermal gradients arise along the vertical axis of the gravimeter which greatly influence the device functioning. Strategy usually adopted for fixing this kind of problems can he classified as:
