Claim 6:
7. A method for generating an electric discharge in a liquid from a pulsed electric discharge device according to claim 1, said method, implemented by the control module, being characterized in that it comprises the steps of:
controlling the voltage generator from a predetermined heating voltage set point so that said voltage generator applies a predetermined heating voltage set point between the electrodes of said at least one pair of electrodes until a pulsed electric discharge is obtained between said electrodes,
measuring the voltage across the electrodes in order to determine the so-called “breakdown” voltage at which the pulsed electric discharge occurred,
estimating the quantity of energy supplied to the liquid during the heating period, the so-called “quantity of heating energy”, from the predetermined heating voltage set point and the breakdown voltage measured,
determining a new heating voltage set point to be applied between the electrodes of said at least one pair of electrodes at the next pulsed electric discharge from the quantity of heating energy estimated and a predefined breakdown voltage set point.
