For the refrigeration system of new energy vehicles, the refrigerant valves in the present invention mainly include three types, namely: solenoid valve, one-way valve and electronic expansion valve 77. These three valves are crucial to the control of the refrigerant medium in the refrigeration system, so the performance test of the refrigerant valve is particularly important. Since the manufacturers currently do not have high-precision detection equipment specifically for the environmental simulation of the refrigerant valve, this refrigerant valve performance test system is designed.

[0036] Since the test of the second test tooling area 6 requires a liquid refrigerant, the gaseous refrigerant needs to be condensed into a liquid state. The condenser 4 in the present invention is used to condense the gaseous refrigerant into a liquid refrigerant. Fig. 9 As shown, the supercooling constant temperature box 5 includes a box body 51, a water cooling component and a supercooling pipe 52 located in the box body 51, the box body 51 is filled with a constant temperature material (the constant temperature material is silicone oil), one end of the supercooling pipe 52 is connected to the first test main path 31, and the other end is connected to the second test main path 61, the water cooling component is wound around the supercooling pipe 52, the water cooling component includes a water cooling pipe 53, a cold water tank 54 and two groups of external pipes 55, the water cooling pipe 53 is wound around the outer circle of the supercooling pipe 52, a water inlet is provided on one side wall of the upper end of the box body 51, and a water outlet is provided on one side wall of the lower end of the box body 51, two ends of the water cooling pipe 53 pass through the water inlet and the water outlet respectively, and are connected and communicated with the two groups of external pipes 55, the two groups of external pipes 55 are both connected to the cold water tank 54 and communicated, and a pressure pump 56 is also provided on the external pipe 55 connected to the water cooling pipe 53 passing through the water inlet.

The prerequisite for MOPD test is The flow rate of the liquid refrigerant needs to reach 240g / s, and the pressure of the liquid refrigerant needs to reach 2.9MPa±0.15MPa. The prerequisite for MOPV testing is that the flow rate of the liquid refrigerant needs to reach 240g / s, and the pressure of the liquid refrigerant needs to reach 2.9MPa±0.15MPa. When the flow rate of the liquid refrigerant needs to be 10g / s-20g / s, and the pressure of the liquid refrigerant is 2.6±0.15MPa, the pressure outflowing from the expansion valve to be tested is the same as the pressure flowing into the expansion valve to be tested. The difference is 2.2±0.15MPa, and the supercooling needs to reach 5±1℃, and when the pressure of the liquid refrigerant is 1±0.1MPa, the pressure difference between the pressure flowing out of the expansion valve to be tested and the pressure flowing into the expansion valve to be tested is 0.7±0.1MPa, and the supercooling needs to reach 5±1℃, the minimum valve opening pulse test and the flow curve test can be carried out), two sets of third pressure sensors 74 are respectively located at both ends of the third station to be tested 73, and a third shut-off valve 75 is provided on the third test branch 72 on the front side of the third station to be tested 73.

[0041] In summary, in traditional detection systems, when detecting refrigerant valves of different sizes and flow rates, it is necessary to adjust the flow relationship between the system branch and the main line, which is quite laborious. When replacing refrigerant valves of other flow rates for detection, it takes a long time to debug the flow rate. Therefore, another biggest advantage of the present invention is that the debugging of flow rate, pressure and temperature is relatively convenient, saving debugging time.

[0050] System process: First, the refrigerant is introduced into the compressor unit 1 through the refrigerant joint 20. The compressor unit 1 compresses the refrigerant into a gaseous state, and then passes it into the gas temperature controller 2 for temperature adjustment. The gaseous refrigerant after temperature and pressure adjustment is passed into the first test fixture area 3 to detect the solenoid valve or expansion valve. The gaseous refrigerant passes through the first test fixture and then enters the condenser 4 to condense into liquid refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant containing a small amount is completely converted into liquid refrigerant after passing through the supercooling thermostat 5. Finally, all the liquid refrigerant flows into the liquid reservoir 13. The liquid refrigerant in the liquid reservoir 13 flows through the drying process. After the filter 14, the refrigerant medium is filtered for impurities, and after adjusting the pressure and flow rate, it flows to the second test tooling area 6 to test the one-way valve. The liquid refrigerant after the test in the second test tooling area 6 flows to the third test tooling area 7 for testing after adjusting the pressure, flow rate and temperature. Since the liquid refrigerant after the test in the third test tooling area 7 will be atomized into small water droplets after passing through the expansion valve, it flows to the evaporator 8 for evaporation, and the evaporator 8 is cooled. The gaseous refrigerant after evaporation adjusts the pressure, flow rate and temperature and then flows to the fourth test assembly area to test the one-way valve, and finally flows back to the compressor unit 1 for re-compression.
