Referring to Figure 2 , the gas flow path 100 comprises the first gas flow path 10, and the chamber 3 is the first chamber 31; the first gas flow path 10 is communicated with the first chamber 31;

[0079] Specifically, the second heater 112 re-heats the temperature of the air outlet of the first heater 106.

[0083] In the embodiment, the first inlet gas branch 117 is provided with a first cooling branch 121, the inlet end of the first cooling branch 121 is connected to the first inlet gas branch 117, and the inlet end of the first cooling branch 121 is located at the outlet end of the first heater 106 and / or the outlet end of the second heater 112.
[0084] The first cooling branch 121 is sequentially provided with a first bypass cooler 107 and a first bypass electromagnetic valve 108 from the inlet end to the outlet end.
[0085] Specifically, the first bypass cooler 107 cools the high-temperature air passing through, and the first bypass electromagnetic valve 108 is used to open and close the first cooling branch 121. When it is necessary to quickly cool the corresponding first heater 106 or second heater 112, the first bypass electromagnetic valve 108 of the first cooling branch 121 at the outlet end is opened, then the first inlet electromagnetic valve 116 is closed, and the first inlet gas bypass electromagnetic valve 104 is opened, so that the corresponding heater can be quickly cooled.
[0086] In the above embodiment, optionally, another embodiment is that the first gas flow path 10 comprises a first outlet gas branch 118,
[0087] The first outlet gas branch 118 is sequentially provided with a first cooler 111, a first outlet gas main electromagnetic valve 113, a first outlet gas flow meter 115, and a fourth electric regulating valve 122 from the inlet end to the outlet end.
[0088] Preferably, the first outlet gas branch 118 is provided with a first outlet gas bypass branch 120, the inlet end of the first outlet gas bypass branch 120 is connected to the inlet end of the first outlet gas main electromagnetic valve 113, and the outlet end of the first outlet gas bypass branch 120 is connected to the outlet end of the first outlet gas flow meter 115.

[0090] Specifically, the first temperature sensor 109 and the first pressure sensor 110 measure the temperature and pressure of the first chamber 31, respectively.
[0091] Working principle of the first gas flow path 10: After the source gas passes through the first filter 101 and the first pressure regulating valve 102, the pressure is stabilized to maintain a stable intake pressure. The gas flow rate is regulated by the first electric regulating valve 103. The air enters the first intake flow meter 105 to measure the intake flow rate. The gas enters the first heater 106 for heating. After heating, the gas passes through the second heater 112 and reaches the temperature specified for the test before entering the first chamber 31. The first chamber 31 has a maximum temperature of 600℃, making it a high-temperature chamber. The first pressure sensor 110 on the first chamber 31 controls the opening of the first electric regulating valve 103 through feedback regulation, thereby adjusting the test pressure. Part of the air entering the first chamber 31 leaks into the second chamber 32 through the seal, and part of it is cooled to room temperature by the first cooler 111 before entering the first exhaust flow meter 115. The leakage of the sealing device can be calculated by the difference between the two flow meters. When the test apparatus requires cooling, the first intake bypass solenoid valve 104 and the first exhaust bypass solenoid valve 114 are opened, while the first exhaust main solenoid valve 113 and the first intake solenoid valve 116 are closed, allowing the first chamber 31, the first heater 106, and the second heater 112 to cool rapidly. The leakage measurement method for the first gas flow path 10 is as follows: the intake flow rate on the first intake branch 117 is W. 11 The exhaust flow rate on the first exhaust branch 118 is W. 12 With the intake pressure constant, the difference between the two is the seal leakage W1 = W 11 -W 12 .

[0099] Preferably, the second air inlet branch 216 is provided with a second cooling branch 220, the inlet end of the second cooling branch 220 is connected to the second air inlet branch 216, and the inlet of the second cooling branch 220 is located at the outlet end of the third heater 206.
[0100] The second cooling branch 220 is sequentially provided with a second bypass cooler 208 and a second bypass electromagnetic valve 207 from the inlet to the outlet.
[0101] Specifically, the second cooling branch 220 cools the high-temperature air passing through, and the second bypass electromagnetic valve 207 is used to open and close the second cooling branch 220. When it is necessary to quickly cool the third heater 206, the second bypass electromagnetic valve 207 is opened, then the second air inlet main path electromagnetic valve 215 is closed, and the second air inlet bypass electromagnetic valve 204 is opened, so that the third heater 206 can be quickly cooled.

[0110] Specifically, the second temperature sensor 209 and the second pressure sensor 210 measure the temperature and pressure at the current location, respectively.
[0111] Working principle of the second gas flow path 20: After the source gas passes through the second filter 201 and the second pressure regulating valve 202, the pressure is stabilized to maintain a stable intake pressure. The gas flow rate is regulated by the second electric regulating valve 203. The air enters the second intake flow meter 205 to measure the intake flow rate. The gas enters the third heater 206 for heating. The heated gas then enters the second chamber 32, which has a maximum temperature of 400℃ and is a medium-temperature chamber. The second pressure sensor 210 on the test chamber controls the opening of the second electric regulating valve 203 through feedback regulation, thereby adjusting the test pressure. Part of the air entering the second chamber 32 leaks into the third chamber 33 through the seal, and part of it is cooled to room temperature by the second exhaust cooler 211 before entering the second exhaust flow meter 214 on the exhaust pipe. When the test instrument needs cooling, the second intake bypass solenoid valve 204 and the second exhaust bypass solenoid valve 213 are opened to allow the test instrument and the third heater 206 to cool down quickly. Method for measuring leakage of the second gas flow path 20: The intake flow rate on the second intake branch 216 is W. 21 The exhaust flow rate on the second exhaust branch 217 is W. 22 With the intake pressure constant, the difference between the two is the seal leakage W2 = W 21 -W 22 .

(See reference) Figure 4 The gas flow path 100 also includes a third gas flow path 30, and the chamber 3 is a third chamber 33; the third gas flow path 30 is connected to the third chamber 33;

The third air intake branch 305 is provided with a third filter 301, a third pressure regulating valve 302 and a third electric regulating valve 303 in sequence from the inlet to the outlet.
[0114] The working principle of the third gas flow path 30: After the source gas passes through the third filter 301 and the third pressure regulating valve 302, the pressure is stabilized to maintain a stable intake pressure. The flow rate is adjusted by the third electric regulating valve 303 through feedback regulation, thereby controlling the pressure of the test chamber. The third gas flow path 30 is a room temperature fluid pipeline, and the third chamber 33 is an ambient temperature chamber with a maximum test pressure of 0.8 MPa.

[0120] The inlet and outlet flow rates of the metering flow meter are counted, and the sealing leakage of test piece 2 is calculated at this test temperature.
[0121] Specifically, counting and calculating the sealing leakage of test piece 2 at this test temperature using the flow meter includes the following steps:
