Abstract

Printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is considered a promising candidate for accelerator driven systems (ADS) due to its high compactness and efficiency. The preeminent high-temperature, high-pressure and corrosion resistance enables it to withstand the severe conditions of ADS and ensure the safe and efficient operation. In this paper, a PCHE applied to the ADS is proposed, adopting helium as the cold source and lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) as the heat source. On this basis, a three-dimensional model is established and the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the PCHE are numerically investigated. The thermal performance is further improved by optimizing structural and operating parameters. The results indicate that the high thermal conductivity and superior field synergy degree of LBE ensures a strong heat transfer performance of PCHE. The velocity disturbance and double-vortex secondary flow generated in modified channels, which intensify the fluid mixing and improve the field synergy level, help to further enhance the overall heat transfer coefficient. Structural and operating parameters of the helium side are more critical to the thermal-hydraulic performance, an increase of helium mass flow rate within allowable pressure drop is conducive to the comprehensive performance.
