[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 3A heat exchanger pressure and flow test bench includes a main body 1, a water tank 2 mounted on the main body 1, and a workstation 11 mounted on the main body 1 for testing the heat exchanger. The water tank 2 is connected to a water supply pipeline assembly 3 for replenishing water to the tank 2, a water flow regulating pipeline assembly 4 for testing the water supply to the heat exchanger, and a return pipeline assembly 5 for guiding water flowing through the heat exchanger back to the water tank 2. The water tank 2 is equipped with a temperature sensor 6 that controls the temperature of the water discharged from the water flow regulating pipeline assembly 4. The water supply pipeline assembly 3 ensures that the water level in the water tank 2 is always maintained at a suitable level, providing a stable water source for the testing process. The water flow regulating pipeline assembly 4 can precisely adjust the water supply to the heat exchanger under test according to different testing requirements, thereby achieving accurate testing of flow parameters. The return pipeline group 5 returns the water that has passed through the heat exchanger back to the water tank 2, forming a circulating water system. This not only saves water resources but also ensures the relative stability of the water temperature during the test, reducing the impact of water temperature fluctuations on the test results. Furthermore, the temperature sensor 6 monitors the water temperature discharged from the water flow regulating pipeline group 4 in real time. Discharge begins when the temperature is higher than the set temperature (42℃-48℃) and stops when the temperature is lower than the set temperature (32℃-38℃), ensuring the test water temperature range is maintained. This allows the heat exchanger to perform pressure and flow tests under stable and controllable water temperature conditions, greatly improving the accuracy and comparability of the test results.

A fourth valve body 101 is provided on the diversion pipe 10 to balance and regulate the water volume, so that the water volume regulating pipe group 4 can control the water volume more accurately.
[0024] In this scheme, the return pipeline group 5 includes a return pipeline 51 connected to the water tank 2 and a fifth valve body 52 disposed on the return pipeline 51.

This allows for rapid drainage of water from the water tank 2 via the high-flow-rate drainage pipe 71, while the low-flow-rate drainage pipe 72 is used for fine-tuning the water flow within the water tank 2.
[0026] In this scheme, the overflow port at the upper end of the water tank 2 is connected to an overflow pipe assembly 9 for preventing overflow. The overflow pipe assembly 9 includes an overflow pipe 91 connected to the water tank 2, and the other end of the overflow pipe 91 is connected to the water tank 8.
