Description

We propose the development of a thermal conditioning retrofit ldquo;kitrdquo; for installation on COTS shaker control accelerometers to prevent freeze-up of the accelerometers during cryogenic testing.nbsp; Our Phase I proposal presents a promising conceptual design and initial mechanical, electrical, and thermal approach for such a kit.nbsp; With its flexible design, the proposed kit provides compatibility with many accelerometers that are commonly used as shaker control accelerometers.nbsp; This allows test engineers to select from a wide range of accelerometers, confident in their knowledge that extreme control electronics temperatures will not interfere with testing.
