HEATER ASSEMBLY AND AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18625849 titled 'HEATER ASSEMBLY AND AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
The heater assembly described in the patent application includes a chamber with an air inlet, a liquid inlet, and an air outlet. A wick is designed to absorb an aerosol generating material from outside the assembly through the liquid inlet, with a heater positioned on the side of the wick to heat the absorbed material. Additionally, a guide structure is present to direct external air flowing into the chamber through the air inlet towards the heater.
- The chamber of the heater assembly has an air inlet, a liquid inlet, and an air outlet.
- The wick absorbs an aerosol generating material through the liquid inlet and has a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface.
- A heater on the side of the wick heats the absorbed aerosol generating material.
- A guide structure influences the flow of external air towards the heater.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in portable heating devices for aerosol-based applications. - It may find applications in air purification systems that utilize aerosol generating materials.
Problems Solved: - Efficient heating of aerosol generating materials. - Controlled airflow direction towards the heater.
Benefits: - Improved heating efficiency. - Enhanced control over the direction of airflow. - Potential for increased effectiveness in applications utilizing aerosol generating materials.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Heater Assembly for Aerosol Applications This technology could be commercially applied in portable heating devices for aerosol-based products, air purification systems, and other applications requiring controlled heating of aerosol generating materials. The market implications include improved performance and efficiency in such devices, potentially leading to increased consumer interest and market share.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the guide structure influence the airflow within the chamber? 2. What are the potential benefits of using a wick to absorb aerosol generating materials in this heater assembly?
Original Abstract Submitted
A heater assembly includes a chamber including an air inlet, a liquid inlet, and an air outlet; a wick configured to absorb an aerosol generating material from outside of the heater assembly through the liquid inlet and including a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface; a heater arranged on the side surface of the wick and configured to heat the aerosol generating material absorbed into the wick; and a guide structure configured to induce external air flowing into the chamber through the air inlet to move in a direction toward the heater.
