In order to investigate the flow and heat transfer performances of supercritical CO2 in the PCHE, a two-dimensional micro-channel heat transfer model was established. The impacts of the airfoil fin arrangement on flow and heat transfer of supercritical CO2 in a PCHE were studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics software. The results show that the transfer efficiency of PCHE can be effectively improved by reducing the abeam and vertical distances between airfoil fins. However, the pressure drop of supercritical CO2 flow in the microchannel reduces with an increase in abeam and vertical spacing distances.
