The invention provides a desktop type self-water-supply heat exchanger performance testing device based on a semiconductor heat pump. The semiconductor heat pump technology is utilized, the size is small, control is flexible, and the desktop system requirement is met; energy conservation is realized, especially when cold water and hot water are supplied at the same time, energy compensation is achieved, and cold and hot source energy is recycled; periodical water supply is realized, water supply and sewerage are not needed, the experiment is convenient and flexible, and the device is not limited by the positions of water supply and sewerage pipes; a heat exchanger type expansion water tank is adopted, a large-size cold and hot water tank is abandoned, the structure is compact, mixed cold and hot compensation heat exchange of cold and hot water is achieved, the environment heat exchange load is reduced, and water supplementing, pressure fixing and system gas discharging or excessive water containing are achieved. The device is flexible, convenient, compact in structure, water-saving, environment-friendly, energy-saving, capable of achieving thermal performance and resistance characteristics of a liquid-liquid heat exchanger, and widely suitable for experiment teaching and testing requirements of the heat exchanger.
