[0060] The method comprises the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: Before filling the system, evacuate the system first, evacuate the system through valve 110, and then fill the system with water. The water is not completely filled. It is necessary to ensure that the pipeline between the high-temperature heat exchanger and the condenser (cooling heat exchanger) is filled with water, and then close valve 110; Before filling the system, evacuate the system first, evacuate the system through valve 110, and then fill the system with water to make the water cover the heater, and ensure that the pipeline between the high-temperature heat exchanger and the condenser (cooling heat exchanger) is filled with water; For safety reasons, the entire test system cannot be completely filled with water. During the test, the position that is not filled with water is saturated steam; The reason is that the density of water at different temperatures is different, and the volume of water will expand at high temperatures. If the system pipeline is filled with water, there is no expansion in the pipeline, which is prone to safety accidents;

[0062] Step 2: close the first valve 3 and adjust the pressure in the liquid reservoir 2 (temperature control liquid reservoir) through the pressure regulating valve 120;

Use a commercially available high-temperature mechanical pump 4 to drive the working fluid to flow in the loop. Use the first heat exchanger 8 to heat the working fluid to a specified temperature. If the temperature exceeds the specified temperature, close the sixth valve 9 to lower the temperature to the specified test temperature. This prevents the temperature from being too high, which may lead to a decrease in detection accuracy and detection failure, without the need to restart or shut down for waiting. The working fluid is deionized water, and the operating temperature is 20°C to 280°C.

[0064] Step 4: The second valve 5 is closed, the first valve 3, the third valve 6, the fourth valve 11, the fifth valve 12, and the sixth valve 9 are opened, the flow rate of the pipeline is adjusted using the flow regulating valve 7, and the performance test of the tested component 13 (the tested high-temperature pump) is performed at a specified temperature;

[0065] Or the third valve 6 is closed, the first valve 3, the second valve 5, the fourth valve 11, the fifth valve 12, and the sixth valve 9 are opened, the flow regulating valve 7 is used to adjust the pipeline flow, and the performance test of the component under test is performed at a specified temperature.
