LMU Munich and the MOVE T56N – Extreme research

12.12.2013

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitรคt Mรผnchen is one of the leading universities in Europe with a tradition stretching back over 500 years. With its broad and differentiated range of subjects, it has great potential for innovative basic research – be it in the core of the individual disciplines or in the inter- and transdisciplinary combination of different fields of knowledge. LMU’s success in the Excellence Initiative confirms the University’s outstanding research performance.

Task

They were looking for a suitable mini PC for a measuring station that measures and analyzes the snow water equivalent and the moisture content of the snow 2500 meters above sea level. 

In addition to the constant availability, the challenge was to cope with the limited infrastructure and the extreme climatic conditions prevailing there.

Technical adaptability to extreme conditions was the most important criterion for the scientists at LMU Munich

Product / Solution

spo-book MOVE T56N is the name of the system. In addition to approval for ambient temperatures from -30ยฐC to +60ยฐC despite passive cooling, it has a voltage input of 9V to 36V direct current. The voltage transformer, which is optimized for the automotive sector, reliably compensates for temporary irregularities and protects the entire system with an additional fuse. 

Another advantage is the high-quality workmanship of the internal and external plug connections, which do not come loose even when subjected to vibrations or strong thermal differences. 

Conclusion

A mini PC, which was developed for the extraordinary loads in motor vehicles, is also convincing as a measuring station in the high mountains under difficult conditions. So the water content of snow in this region is no secret.
