Abstract: A compact testing module (1) for use in dynamic characteristics experiments of hydraulic damper valve under extreme high or low temperature conditions, an automated system and approach based on the compact testing module (1). The compact testing module (1) comprises an outer cylinder assembly (2), a guide seat assembly (3), a foam/air separator for guide seat (4), an inner cylinder (5), a piston-and-rod assembly (6), fluids (7), a foot valve assembly (8), a washer for inner cylinder (9), a washer for foot valve assembly (10), a fluid-guiding structure (11), a magnet (12), a fluid-returning assembly (13), a framework oil seal (14), a screw cover (15) and a dust wiper (16). Based on the integrated design principle, the compact testing module (1) allows the fluids (7), the pressure fluid supplier, the hydraulic damper valve being tested (32), the pressure sensors be all integrated in one component.
