To improve heat dissipation performance of panel-type radiator for transformer, this study investigated the flow and heat transfer characteristics of semi-detached inclined trapezoidal wing vortex generator (SDITW) in a closed channel on the air-side of the radiator. The SDITW was compared with the inclined delta wing (IDW) and inclined trapezoidal wing (ITW) channels. The effects of SDITW relative separation height ( e 1 / e 2 ), longitudinal pitch ( p l ), blockage ratio ( e /(0.5 H )), and inclination angle ( α ) were analyzed. First, compared with the IDW and ITW channels, the SDITW channel generates stable corner vortices and produces weaker transverse vortices and lower flow resistance due to the semi-detached structure of the wing. For Re = 5,125–15,375, the overall heat transfer performance (performance evaluation criteria; PEC) of the SDITW channel increases by 0.5–8.9 and 1.7–4.9% as compared with IDW and ITW channels, respectively. Furthermore, for the same e /(0.5 H ) and α , both the Nusselt number ratio and friction factor ratio of SDITW channel increase as e 1 / e 2 and p l decrease. For p l = 70 mm, the SDITW channel exhibits a relatively better overall heat transfer performance. For the same e 1 / e 2 and p l , the PEC of SDITW channel is maximum and the overall heat transfer performance is best when e /(0.5 H ) = 0.3 at Re = 10,250 and α = 30°–60°.
