COMBINED CYCLE TESTING APPARATUS AND COMBINED CYCLE TESTING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly and inexpensively decrease a temperature and increase a humidity in a combined cycle testing apparatus and a combined cycle testing method when a dry test is changed to a wet test. SOLUTION: The combined cycle testing apparatus has (1)(a) a first humidity generator for introducing steam from a steam pipe routed on a lower wall of a test tank into the test tank, (b) a second humidity generator for upwardly introducing the steam from a bottom of the test tank into the test tank, (2) a means for cooling air in the test tank by making water cooled by a cooling apparatus provided outside the test tank flow in a cooling pipe routed on an inner wall of the test tank and spraying the water to a wall of the test tank, and (3) a recycling air path having a heater for stirring air and adjusting a temperature of air in the test tank and a stirring fan motor. The combined cycle testing method utilizes the apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
