ABSTRACT = {Radiator thermal performance test equipment plays a key role in the
processing of developing a new type of heat radiator and its application products.
The precise of temperature controlling, temperature measuring and flow measuring are the vital factors for a radiator thermal performance test equipment. Based
on the above background, this paper improves the measurement and control system of radiator thermal performance test equipment, which improves the accuracy
of the radiator thermal performance test equipment. This paper also optimizes the
software and hardware system simultaneously so as to improve the precision of
the auto-test system of test equipment. The flow rate ranges from 175 kg/h to
178 kg/h under different conditions. The average is 176.5 kg/h and the deviation
rates are from 1.62% to 1.97%. The heat produced under various conditions is different. The maximum is 4.3 kW and the minimum is 4.2 kW for condition 1, the
maximum is 3.3 kW and the minimum is 3.2 kW for condition 2 and the maximum is 1.95 kW and the minimum is 1.89 kW for condition 3. However, the
deviation rate is about 2.9%, which shows that the device has high stability
and high precision. This paper studies a new electronic heat cost allocate meter
test method by radiator thermal performance test equipment at the same time. This
paper tests temperature changes through four measures points and gets a result
appeared as a heat backup which should be avoided when using in the test of electronic heat cost allocate meter. Some experiences and references could be gained
for further research in the heating system from this test and research.},
