1. A pulsed electric discharge device in a liquid, said device comprising:
at least one pair of electrodes configured to be immersed in said liquid and to generate an electric arc in said liquid when a predetermined voltage is applied between said at least one pair of electrodes;
at least one heating unit configured to heat said liquid for a heating duration;
at least one discharge unit configured to apply a discharge voltage between the at least one pair of electrodes; and
at least one control unit configured to control the at least one heating unit so that said at least one heating unit heats the liquid for the heating duration and to control, at an end of said heating duration, the at least one discharge unit so that said at least one discharge unit applies the predetermined voltage between the at least one pair of electrodes to generate an electrical discharge in the liquid.
