The test unit 50 is connected to the mixing passage 30, a portion of the gas mixed in the mixing passage 30 is introduced and the performance test of the test object is made.

In detail, the gas flowing into the inlet of the test unit 50 through the mixing passage 30 by adjusting the temperature and pressure of the high pressure part passage 10 and the low pressure part passage 20 and the pressure of the exhaust part passage 40. It is possible to set the temperature and the pressure of, and by adjusting the pressure of the test section passage 50 described later, it is possible to set the pressure of the gas flowing out of the test section 50 outlet.

In general, the pressure of the test section passage 50 is adjusted to a pressure lower than the pressure of the exhaust passage 40.

At this time, the exhaust passage 40 and the test passage 50 is connected to the vacuum pressure supply (70).

Referring to the drawings, the vacuum pressure supply unit 70 is composed of a vacuum pump 71 and a vacuum vessel 73, one side of the vacuum vessel 73 is the exhaust passage 40 and the test unit passage It is connected to the 50 and the other side is connected to the vacuum pump 71 is made to apply a low pressure to the exhaust passage 40 and the test passage 50 by the operation of the vacuum pump 71.

In addition, a bypass passage 80 connecting the high pressure part passage 10 and the test part passage 50 may be connected. The pressure can be primarily reduced in pressure by releasing the air.

In the above description, the bypass passage 80 is described as connecting the high pressure part passage 10 and the test part passage 50, but as shown in the drawing, the high pressure part passage 10 and the vacuum part passage are connected to the test part ( If connected in the form of bypass 50) it will be referred to as a concept included in this. In this case, a three-way valve 90 may be used to supply gas to the bypass passage 80.

Next, the operation of the temperature / pressure test apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the temperature and pressure of the high pressure gas flowing into the mixing flow passage 30 and the temperature and pressure of the low pressure gas flowing into the mixing flow passage 30 are set, and the pressure of the gas discharged from the mixing flow passage 30 is set. By setting the temperature / pressure of the inlet of the test section (S201).

For example, when the temperature / pressure of the inlet of the test unit 50 is to be set to high temperature and high pressure, the first pressure regulator 11 and the first heater 13 of the high pressure unit passage 10 are appropriately adjusted and the test unit ( 50) In order to set the temperature / pressure of the inlet to low temperature and low pressure, the second pressure regulator 21 and the second heater 23 connected to the low pressure passage 20 are appropriately adjusted and the high temperature low pressure is to be set. In this case, the temperature and pressure of the gas flowing into the mixing flow path 30 by using the first heater 13 connected to the high pressure passage 10 and the second pressure regulator 21 connected to the low pressure passage 20. You can adjust it appropriately.

In addition, when the pressure of the test unit 50 should be set to a high altitude condition, that is, the atmospheric pressure or less, the air in the exhaust passage 40 is sucked using the vacuum vessel 73 and the vacuum pump 71 and the third pressure is applied. By adjusting with the regulator 41 and the 4th pressure regulator 61, it is possible to set the pressure of the test part 50 inlet below atmospheric pressure.

Next, the pressure at the outlet of the test section 50 is set. It is possible to adjust the pressure at the outlet of the test section 50 by sucking the air at the outlet of the test section 50 and adjusting it with a pressure regulator.

At this time, the pressure at the outlet of the test section 50 is usually set lower than the pressure at the exhaust section passage 40. By setting it in this way, gas can flow to the test part 50 smoothly.

Next, gas is injected into the high pressure section passage 10 and the low pressure section passage 20. The injected gas has a set temperature and pressure and is mixed in the mixing flow path 30 to be set to a temperature and pressure required by the test unit 50.

Next, a part of air set to the temperature and pressure required by the test unit 50 as described above flows into the test unit 50, and the remaining air flows into the exhaust passage 40. At this time, the flow rate discharged to the exhaust part and the flow rate supplied to the test part 50 are adjusted by using the pressure regulators 41 and 61 provided in the exhaust part passage 40 and the test part passage 50.

At this time, when the pressure of the test unit 50 should be set to a high altitude condition, that is, the atmospheric pressure or less, the test unit may be sucked by using the vacuum vessel 73 and the vacuum pump 71 behind the test unit 50. It is possible to set the pressure of 50) below atmospheric pressure.

On the other hand, when the pressure of the high-pressure part passage 10 is very high, the pressure can be primarily reduced by discharging the air of high temperature and high pressure through the bypass passage 80.

Accordingly, by using the temperature / pressure test apparatus, it is possible to set the inside of the test unit 50 to a desired temperature and pressure, and thus it is possible to perform performance tests on aircraft parts and the like under various temperature and pressure conditions.

Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the time required for raising the temperature from the low temperature condition to the high temperature condition is significantly different depending on whether the mixing flow path 30 is applied or not.

In detail, when comparing the time required to set the temperature of the inlet of the experiment part to 500 degrees, the mixing flow path 30 is applied to supply the air of the high temperature and high pressure and the low temperature and the low pressure of the air at 0 degrees. When the rise time to 500 degrees is approximately 600 seconds and the general straight flow path is applied, the rise time from 0 degrees to 500 degrees is 2000 seconds, which is more than three times the difference.

At this time, the process of setting the pressure and flow rate is not shown, but since the pressure and flow rate have no inertial effects unlike the temperature, the pressure regulators 11 and 21 (the first pressure regulator 11 and the second pressure regulator) of the high and low pressure portions are (21)) and the pressure regulators 41 and 61 (third pressure regulator 41 and fourth pressure regulator 61) behind the test section 50 to the desired pressure, the desired pressure and flow rate are usually within one minute. Can be controlled to obtain

Accordingly, the inlet temperature and the pressure of the test unit 50 and the pressure of the outlet can be set quickly and accurately.

The prominent effect of the application of the mixing passage 30 can be clearly seen in FIG. 4. 4 is a graph showing the temperature change at the inlet of the test unit 50 of the temperature / pressure test apparatus to which the mixing flow path 30 is applied, and as shown in FIG. 4, the temperature of the gas supplied to the test unit 50 can be freely adjusted. It is possible.

That is, referring to the drawings, the temperature of the air supplied to the test unit 50 may be set to a high temperature condition of 450 degrees for about 500 seconds, and to set a low temperature state of 100 degrees or less in a high temperature state for less than 200 seconds. You can see that.

Accordingly, the time required for changing the temperature from a high temperature condition to a low temperature condition or from a low temperature condition to a high temperature condition is significantly shorter than that of the existing system.
