AB - The influence of the louver fin's structure on the heat transfer performance  of a parallel flow gas cooler is studied, and a 3-D model for an elliptical  louver fin is simulated for analysis of the heat transfer and flow  resistance characteristics of the fin. The micro-channel structure of the  fin is optimized to give the best comprehensive performance evaluation by  suitable choice of fin's thickness and the space between the adjacent  louvers for given range of Reynolds number.
