Abstract
In condensation heat transfer, the efficiency of heat transfer at the heat transfer surface is notably augmented by opposing at least one electrode across a prescribed space to the heat transfer surface and applying a high electric potential capable of producing a non-uniform electric field on the heat transfer surface thereby enabling the condensate liquid formed on the heat transfer surface to be attracted by virtue of the electric field to the electrode, formed into a liquid column and removed from the heat transfer surface.
