Abstract
Means for cooling a heated surface comprising an enclosure for enclosing the heated surface and two interleaved radial arrays of micro electrodes positioned on the surface within the enclosure thereby forming an interleaved radial array. The radial array has a 'near-vertex' end and a periphery. The micro electrodes at the near-vertex end have a smaller interelectrode distance and the micro electrodes at the periphery have a larger interelectrode distance. A volatile cooling liquid is contained within the enclosure and moved from the near-vertex array end toward the periphery along the lengths of micro electrodes by non-alternating voltages applied to the micro electrodes, thereby creating a polarization effect and evaporation of the volatile liquid.
