Abstract
Abstract The influence of direct current (DC) electric field on the thickness and mass of frost on a cold vertical plate was investigated. The photos of frost layer growth were taken with and without the presence of electric field, and results showed that the electric filed has a strong influence on the frost thickness. The influences of cold plate temperature and ambient temperature on frost thickness and frost mass were also investigated under the natural convection condition with electric field. Experimental results demonstrated that the cold plate temperature has very strong effect on the frost layer thickness, but its influence on frost mass is minor; the influence or ambient temperature on the frost mass is more obvious than that on the frost thickness. *Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 50376001) and the Major State Basic Research Development Program of China (Grant No. G200026304)
