Abstract: This paper considers that the case for using electrohydrodynamic (EHD) enhancement of heat transfer has been established, especially in thermodynamic renewable energy applications where temperature levels are relatively low. It goes on to establish the basis on which nucleate boiling heat transfer is enhanced by EHD forces at surfaces designed to improve condensation, giving experimental results for a six-tube, shell/tube heat exchanger boiling R12 at “Io-fin” surfaces as well as for single-tube tests using “Thermoexcel” and “Gewa-T” surfaces.
