The electronic balance 7 is used to accurately measure the mass of the working medium in the double-layer water tank 9 in real time. The double-layer water tank 9 mainly provides a constant liquid level height to reduce pressure fluctuations caused by the peristaltic pump. The ITO-coated layer 19 at the bottom of the double-layer ITO-coated plate 1 and the nozzle 16 are connected to both ends of the high-voltage electrostatic generator 5 through wires. The nozzle 16 realizes spacing control with the double-layer ITO-coated plate 1 through the displacement system 6. The high-voltage electrostatic generator 5 realizes non-uniform electric field application through the nozzle 16 and the double-layer ITO-coated plate 1.

[0030] In specific use, for example, in a detection experiment, the double-layer ITO coated plate 1 is connected to the Joule direct current heating system 12 through the copper plate 17, the nozzle 16 and the ITO coating 19 on the bottom surface of the double-layer ITO coated plate 1 are connected to both ends of the high-voltage electrostatic generator 5 through a wire, the valve 3 of the transparent electrostatic spraying system and the switch of the Joule direct current heating system 12 are opened in sequence, the evaporation process of the liquid droplets on the double-layer ITO coated plate 1 is observed through the camera A 13 and the camera B 14, the wall surface temperature distribution of the double-layer ITO coated plate 1 is observed through the infrared camera 15, the operation of the device is stopped, the switch of the Joule direct current heating system 12 and the valve 3 of the transparent electrostatic spraying system are closed in sequence, and the operation is thus completed.
