    Abstract: A connection mechanism includes two connection parts. Each connection part includes a first flange including a through hole and an attaching portion by which the first flange is attached to a partial wall portion while the through hole faces an opening. The attaching portion includes: a vertical adjuster which adjusts the attaching position of the first flange so that a surface of the first flange, which is opposite to a surface of the first flange facing the partial wall portion, is vertical; and a rotation adjuster which adjusts the attaching position of the first flange about a horizontal axis passing the center of the through hole and extending in the thickness direction. The attaching position of a first flange can be individually adjusted.

    Abstract: A shaft includes a main refrigerant passage capable of supplying a refrigerant in one direction on an axial center part and a test piece side sub-refrigerant passage having a starting end communicating with the vicinity of a downstream end in a refrigerant supply direction of the main refrigerant passage. The downstream end in the refrigerant supply direction of the main refrigerant passage is set at the position before an end of the shaft at the side to which a test piece is connected and a predetermined position on the downstream side in the refrigerant supply direction relative to a test piece side bearing. An ending end (discharge port) of the test piece side sub-refrigerant passage is set on the upstream side (counter test piece side) in the refrigerant supply direction relative to the test piece side bearing.
