Abstract: In order to weaken the influence of variable operating conditions such as temperature instability on the supercritical carbon dioxide(SCO2)Brayton cycle, this study fitted and generalized the results of the phase change materials-printed circuit heat exchanger(PCM-PCHE)embedded in numerical simulations, and established a dynamic simulation model of the coupling between PCM-PCHE and SCO2 Brayton cycle. The coupled dynamic simulation model of SCO2 Brayton cycle was established, and the model validation was completed by the comparison of its parameters with experimental values under stable conditions. Then the variable operating conditions characteristics of the core parameters of the SCO2 Brayton cycle system were observed under temperature fluctuations as well as load variations. The results showed that the addition of PCM-PCHE has a better stabilizing effect on the SCO2 Brayton cycle system with variable operating conditions, which reduced the fluctuation amplitude of the cycle efficiency by 40.8%, and the stabilized value of the rotor speed was lower than that without PCM by 18 r/min, and at the same time, it weakened the variation amplitude of the isentropic efficiency of the turbomachinery when the load varied, which was conducive to the stabilization of the system.

Key words: heat exchanger, phase change material, Brayton cycle, temperature fluctuation, load variation, dynamic characteristics
