Abstract
A mobile measurement device, particularly for temporary use in or on vehicles, on stationary engines, or on test benches, consists of individual components () that might have different working temperatures, disposed in a common housing (). Furthermore, at least one fan () is provided. In order to allow a very broad range of use with regard to the outside temperature range, at the smallest and lightest possible construction, in order to guarantee simple transport and great mobility, and reliable measurements within this range, the housing () is structured essentially in gastight manner. Furthermore, compartments for the individual components () that are separated from one another by means of air baffles () and a conditioning drawer () that extends over an entire housing side are provided, which conditioning drawer () is provided with the single air inlet () and in which at least one fan (), preferably having a variable throughput, at least one conditioning block (), and at least one temperature sensor () are disposed. Outlets () having defined cross-sections lead from the conditioning drawer () to at least some compartments for the individual components (), and the conditioning block (), the fan (), and the temperature sensor () are connected with a control system integrated into the measurement device, which system controls the conditioning block () and the fan () in accordance with the desired working temperature of the individual components ().
