An enhanced heat transfer device with electrodes is provided, which is
applied to a heat exchanger with a plurality of fluid channels and
includes a plurality of electrodes mounted in the fluid channels of the
heat exchanger; a plurality of sensor units mounted in the fluid channels
of the heat exchanger for measuring mass flow rates of fluids in the
fluid channels; and a power source for providing voltage to the
electrodes. The power source is used to drive the electrodes to produce
turbulence to fluids passing through the fluid channels according to
measured mass flow rates from the sensor units, so as to facilitate
uniform fluid flows in the plurality of fluid channels and reduce effect
of thermal boundary layer in the fluid channels to thereby enhance heat
transfer performance for the heat exchanger.
