THE HV ELECTRIC FIELD HEATING OF THE ETHYLENE GLYCOL

Tadeusz Maczka - Dorota Nowak-Woźny

   The research on the electrical conductivity of the ethylene glycol under HV electric field operation was realized. Attempt was made to heat the ethylene glycol without its flow in a stationary heater, with plane parallel electrodes oriented horizontally. On the basis of an analysis of the experimental results obtained, it was found that HV electric field heating method, seems very efficient while heating the ethylene glycol from temperature 250 K. It was compared that values of the conduction mechanisms activation energy, when ethylene glycol was by DC and HV electric field heated.
