Conclusion
Newly type (flow configuration) PCHEs are proposed.
Pressure drop characteristics are validated with CFD simulationPressure drop characteristics are validated with CFD simulation.
Heat transfer characteristics are highly affected by axial conduction at low Re.
PCHE design was modified for reducing axial conduction using wire-cutting.
