The application of PCHE in the new generation power generation system

PCHE is suitable for power generation cycle system under high temperature and high pressure

For supercritical CO2 power generation systems:

The heat exchange of the current supercritical carbon dioxide test loop mostly uses a printed circuit board heat exchanger (PCHE), which is suitable for high working temperature and high working pressure, and has good expansion ability; at the same time, PCHE is a diffusion-bonded heat exchanger with high integrity. Structure of high-efficiency heat exchanger. Diffusion bonding results in high and low temperature resistance and excellent mechanical properties of the heat exchanger, making it the only optimal heat exchanger for use in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO₂) cycles.

For nuclear power plants:

Printed circuit board heat exchangers are beneficial for improving thermal management and economic efficiency in thermal and nuclear power plants. Its compact size, high temperature and pressure resistance and high heat exchange efficiency make it the best choice for heat exchangers for power generation in the future.
The temperature required for nuclear power is 850 degrees, and the compact micro-channel heat exchanger is currently the most high-temperature heat exchanger; and compared with the traditional shell and tube heat exchanger, PCHE is more reliable and safer.
