Based on the shell and tube phase change heat exchanger, the melting heat transfer characteristics of 35 paraffin outside the rectangular radial plate fin tube were studied by numerical simulation method. The three-dimensional model of fin element was established to study the influence of thermal fluid temperature and fin height parameters on the heat transfer process, and the heat transfer performance of optimal fractal fin was explored. The results show that the melting process can be divided into three stages with different heat transfer rates, which are suitable for different power requirements. Increasing the inlet temperature of the hot fluid and the temperature difference of the phase change material can enhance the total heat transfer power approximately in equal proportion. When the fin height is increased from 10 cm to 12.5 cm and 15 cm, the total melting time is reduced by 42.89% and 71.96%, and the heat transfer is enhanced, but the power to weight ratio is reduced. The total melting time is reduced by 41.95% with fractal structure optimization and the power is increased, which provides a reference for the optimal design of phase change finned tube.
