[0038] The fuel subsystem includes a fuel tank 1 that houses fuel, and a filter and a valve are installed at the outlet of the fuel tank 1;
[0039] The outlet of the fuel tank 1 is connected in parallel with an adjustable air film control valve A4, an adjustable air film control valve B6, a variable frequency oil pump A5, and a variable frequency oil pump B7; the adjustable air film control valve A4 and the variable frequency oil pump A5 are a group, and the adjustable air film control valve B6 and the variable frequency oil pump B7 are a group.
[0040] Valves are installed at the outlets of the adjustable air film control valve A4, the adjustable air film control valve B6, the variable frequency oil pump A5, and the variable frequency oil pump B7, and mass flow meters are installed at the inlets of the adjustable air film control valve A4, the adjustable air film control valve B6, the variable frequency oil pump A5, and the variable frequency oil pump B7; the outlets of the adjustable air film control valve A4, the adjustable air film control valve B6, the variable frequency oil pump A5, and the variable frequency oil pump B7 are connected to a heat exchanger 9.
[0041] The heat exchange port of the heat exchanger 9 is connected to a fuel heating and cooling device 3 through a heat conduction oil pipe, and the fuel heating and cooling device 3 heats the fuel to change the fuel temperature; the oil discharge outlet of the heat exchanger 9 is connected in parallel and extends to the test chamber 10 through a main oil path and a secondary oil path in parallel, and is used to be connected to the nozzle or the fuel manifold with a nozzle. Both the main oil path and the secondary oil path are connected to the fuel tank 1 through oil pipes.

[0043] The test chamber 10 mainly consists of an atomization darkroom 12, an optical camera installation room 13, an adjustable brightness fill light 14, a cylinder 15, an adjustable fan 16, an oil mist separator 17, a manual cone angle measuring ruler 18, a rectifying net 19, and a test piece tooling 20.
[0044] At the installation position of the test piece tooling 20 facing the center of the cylinder 15, a single nozzle can also be installed to carry out atomization tests.
[0045] The inner wall surface of the atomization darkroom 12 adopts a blackening process and is coated with an oil-repellent layer. At the same time, six adjustable brightness fill lights 14 are evenly distributed, and the fill lights 14 are used to supplement light for the fog cone during the test.
[0046] The optical camera installation room 13 is equipped with an optical camera of a fog cone optical analysis system 11; at the same time, the optical camera installation room 13 at the front end of the optical camera uses tempered glass coated with an oil-repellent layer to physically isolate the camera from the oil mist, and the oil-repellent layer is used to prevent the oil mist from adhering to the outer wall surface of the glass.
