In order to improve the performance of the turbine, establishing a test platform and carrying out various performance tests become the key link of turbine research and design.
[0003] In the turbine test process, high-pressure gas is introduced into the turbine in the test platform, and the turbine is used to expand the high-pressure gas, so that the turbine works and the performance of the turbine is tested. However, in the prior art, the high-pressure gas used in the test of the turbine needs to be pressurized and stored in advance, and the high-pressure gas is used to drive the turbine to start during the start-up process of the turbine. However, due to the repeated opening and closing adjustment process of the valve during start and stop, the high-pressure gas causes unstable impact on the turbine blades, causing the turbine blades to vibrate, affecting the service life of the turbine blades, and when the vibration amplitude is large, it will also cause the turbine to fail to start. SUMMARY
