Abstract

A gravimetric measuring system (10) includes a balance (12) with a weighing chamber (22) surrounded by a weighing chamber wall (23, 24, 26, 28); an electromechanical weighing system (181) arranged in a weighing system chamber (18); an electronic control apparatus (36) for controlling the system operation; a cooling apparatus (34), controllable by the control apparatus, for cooling the weighing chamber (22); and a plurality of functional modules (14, 16) that generate heat during operation and are insertable into module receptacles (283) arranged on the weighing chamber wall (28). The module receptacles (283) have device-side thermal interface components (32a) that are thermally connected to the cooling apparatus (34), and the functional modules (14, 16) have corresponding module-side thermal interface components (32b) that, in an inserted state of the respective functional module (14, 16), thermally contact the device-side thermal interface component (32a) of the respectively associated module receptacle (283).
