Definitions
- Inductive heating device aerosol-delivery system comprising an inductive heating device, and method of operating same
- the present invention relates to an inductive heating device for heating an aerosol-forming substrate.
- the present invention also relates to an aerosol-delivery system comprising such an inductive heating device.
- the present invention further relates to a method of operating such aerosol-delivery system.
- aerosol-delivery systems which comprise an aerosol-forming substrate, typically a tobacco containing plug.
- an aerosol-forming substrate typically a tobacco containing plug.
- a heating element such as a heating blade (typically made of metal) is inserted into the tobacco plug.
- the temperature of the heating blade which is in direct contact with the aerosol-forming substrate (the tobacco plug) is determined as being representative of the temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate.
- the temperature of the heating blade is calculated using the known relationship between the ohmic resistance of the heating blade and the temperature of the heating blade. Therefore, during heating, by monitoring the ohmic resistance of the heating blade (e.g.
- the temperature of the heating blade can be determined at any time during a smoking run. Due to the capability to determine the temperature at any time during a smoking run it is also possible to determine when a puff is taken by the user during a smoking run, as during a puff cool air flows over the resistively heated blade resulting in a temporary temperature drop of the blade which can be detected .
- the inductive heating device comprises an inductor arranged in thermal proximity of the aerosol-forming substrate, and the aerosol- forming substrate comprises a susceptor.
- the alternating magnetic field of the inductor generates eddy currents and hysteresis losses in the susceptor, causing the susceptor to heat the aerosol-forming substrate up to a temperature at which it is capable of releasing volatile components that can form an aerosol. Since the heating of the susceptor is performed in a contactless manner, there is no direct way to measure the temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate. For that reason, it is also difficult to determine when a puff is taken by the user during the smoking run.
- the invention suggests an inductive heating device for heating an aerosol-forming substrate comprising a susceptor.
- the inductive heating device according to the invention comprises :
- the power supply electronics configured to operate at high frequency, the power supply electronics comprising a DC/AC converter connected to the DC power source, the DC/AC
- the converter comprising an LC load network configured to operate at low ohmic load, wherein the LC load network comprises a series connection of a capacitor and an inductor having an ohmic resistance,
- the cavity having an internal surface shaped to accommodate at least a portion of the aerosol-forming substrate, the cavity being arranged such that upon accommodation of the portion of the aerosol- forming substrate in the cavity the inductor of the LC load network is inductively coupled to the susceptor of the aerosol-forming substrate during operation.
- the power supply electronics further comprises a microcontroller programmed to in operation determine from the DC supply voltage of the DC power source and from the DC current drawn from the DC power source an apparent ohmic resistance, further programmed to in operation determine from the apparent ohmic resistance the temperature of the susceptor of the aerosol-forming substrate.
- the mircrocon- troller is further programmed to monitor changes in the apparent ohmic resistance and to detect a puff when a decrease of the apparent ohmic resistance is determined which is indicative of a temperature decrease of the susceptor during a user inhalation.
- the aerosol-forming substrate is preferably a substrate capable of releasing volatile compounds that can form an aerosol.
- the volatile compounds are released by heating the aerosol-forming substrate.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may be solid or liquid or comprise both solid and liquid components.
- the aerosol-forming substrate is solid.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may comprise nicotine.
- the nicotine containing aerosol-forming substrate may be a nicotine salt matrix.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may comprise plant-based material.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may comprise tobacco, and preferably the tobacco containing material contains volatile tobacco flavor compounds, which are released from the aerosol-forming substrate upon heating.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may comprise homogenized tobacco material.
- Homogenized tobacco material may be formed by agglomerating particulate tobacco.
- the homogenized tobacco material may have an aerosol-former content of equal to or greater than 5% on a dry weight basis, and preferably between greater than 5% and 30% by weight on a dry weight basis.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may alternatively comprise a non-tobacco-containing material.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may comprise homogenized plant-based material.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may comprise at least one aerosol-former.
- the aerosol-former may be any suitable known compound or mixture of compounds that, in use, facilitates formation of a dense and stable aerosol and that is substantially resistant to thermal degradation at the operating temperature of the aerosol-generating device.
- Suitable aerosol-formers are well known in the art and include, but are not limited to: polyhydric alcohols, such as triethylene glycol, 1 , 3-butanediol and glycerine; esters of polyhydric alcohols, such as glycerol mono-, di- or triacetate; and aliphatic esters of mono-, di- or polycarboxylic acids, such as dimethyl dodecanedioate and dimethyl tetradecanedioate .
- Particularly preferred aerosol formers are polyhydric alcohols or mixtures thereof, such as triethylene glycol, 1 , 3-butanediol and, most preferred, glycerine.
- the aerosol-forming substrate may comprise other additives and ingredients, such as flavorants.
- the aerosol- forming substrate preferably comprises nicotine and at least one aerosol-former. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the aerosol-former is glycerine.
- the DC power source generally may comprise any suitable DC power source comprising in particular a power supply unit to be connected to the mains, one or more single-use batteries, rechargeable batteries, or any other suitable DC power source capable of providing the required DC supply voltage and the required DC supply amperage.
- the DC supply voltage of the DC power source is in the range of about 2.5 Volts to about 4.5 Volts and the DC supply amperage is in the range of about 2.5 to about 5 Amperes (corresponding to a DC supply power in the range of about 6.25 Watts and about 22.5 Watts) .
- the DC power source comprises rechargeable batteries. Such batteries are generally available and have an acceptable overall volume of between approximately 1.2-3.5 cubic centimeters. Such batteries may have a substantially cylindrical or rectangular solid shape.
- the DC power source may comprise a DC feed choke .
- the power supply electronics is configured to operate at high frequency.
- high frequency is to be understood to denote a frequency ranging from about 1 Megahertz (MHz) to about 30 Megahertz (MHz), in particular from about 1 Megahertz (MHz) to about 10 MHz (including the range of 1 MHz to 10 MHz), and even more particularly from about 5 Megahertz (MHz) to about 7 Megahertz (MHz) (including the range of 5 MHz to 7 MHz) .
- the power supply electronics comprises a DC/AC converter (which may be embodied as a DC/AC inverter) connected to the DC power source.
- a DC/AC converter which may be embodied as a DC/AC inverter
- the LC load network of the DC/AC converter is configured to operate at low ohmic load.
- the term "low ohmic load” is to be understood to denote an ohmic load smaller than about 2 Ohms.
- the LC load network comprises a shunt capacitor, and a series connection of a capacitor and an inductor having an ohmic resistance. This ohmic resistance of the inductor is typically a few tenths of an Ohm.
- the ohmic resistance of the susceptor adds to the ohmic resistance of the inductor and should be higher than the ohmic resistance of the inductor, since the supplied electrical power should be converted to heat in the susceptor to an as high extent as possible in order to increase efficiency of the power amplifier and to allow transfer of as much heat as possible from the susceptor to the rest of the aerosol-forming substrate to effectively produce the aerosol.
- a susceptor is a conductor which is capable of being inductively heated. "Thermal proximity" means that the susceptor is positioned relative to the rest of the aerosol- forming substrate such that an adequate amount of heat is transferred from the susceptor to the rest of the aerosol- forming substrate to produce the aerosol.
- the susceptor Since the susceptor is not only magnetically permeable but also electrically conductive (it is a conductor, see above) , a current known as eddy current is produced in the susceptor and flows in the susceptor according to Ohm's law.
- the susceptor should have low electrical resistivity p to increase Joule heat dissipation.
- the frequency of the alternating eddy current has to be considered because of the skin effect (more than 98% of the electrical current flow within a layer four times the skin depth ⁇ from the outer surface of the conductor) . Taking this into account the ohmic resistance R s of the susceptor is calculated from the equation
- R s ⁇ /2 ⁇ ⁇ wherein f denotes the frequency of the alternating eddy current ⁇ 0 denotes the magnetic permeability of free space
- ⁇ ⁇ denotes the relative magnetic permeability of the
- p denotes the electrical resistivity of the material of
- the power loss P e generated by the eddy current is calculated by the formula
- R s denotes the electrical (ohmic) resistance of the susceptor (see above) From this equation for P e and from the calculation of R s it can be seen that for a material having a known relative magnetic permeability ⁇ ⁇ and a given electrical resistivity p it is evident that the power loss P e generated by the eddy current (through conversion to heat) increases with increasing frequency and increasing amperage (rms) .
- the frequency of the alternating eddy current (and correspondingly of the alternating magnetic field inducing the eddy current in the susceptor) cannot be arbitrarily increased, since the skin depth ⁇ decreases as the frequency of the eddy current (or of the alternating magnetic field inducing the eddy current in the susceptor) increases, so that above a certain cut-off frequency no eddy currents can be generated in the susceptor anymore since the skin depth is too small to allow eddy currents to be generated.
- Increasing the amperage (rms) requires an alternating magnetic field having a high magnetic flux density and thus requires voluminous induction sources (inductors) .
- V V ⁇ W H ⁇ f
- W H denotes the work required to magnetize the susceptor
- f denotes the frequency of the alternating magnetic field.
- the maximum possible amount of W H depends on material properties of the susceptor (saturation remanence B R , coercivity H c ) , and the actual amount of W H depends on the actual magnetization B-H loop induced in the susceptor by the alternating magnetic field, and this actual magnetization B-H loop depends on the magnitude of the magnetic excitation.
- This heat generation is caused by dynamic losses of the magnetic domains in the magnetically permeable susceptor material when the susceptor is subjected to an alternating external magnetic field, and these dynamic losses also generally increase as the frequency of the alternating magnetic field increases.
- a cavity is arranged in the device housing.
- the cavity has an internal surface shaped to accommodate at least a portion of the aerosol-forming substrate.
- the cavity is arranged such that upon accommodation of the portion of the aerosol-forming substrate in the cavity the inductor of the LC load network is inductively coupled to the susceptor of the aerosol- forming substrate during operation.
- the inductor of the LC load network is used to heat the susceptor through magnetic induction. This eliminates the need for additional components such as matching networks for matching the output impedance of the Class-E power amplifier to the load, thus allowing to further minimize the size of the power supply electronics.
- the inductive heating device provides for a small and easy to handle, efficient, clean and robust heating device due to the contactless heating of the substrate.
- susceptors forming low ohmic loads as specified above while having an ohmic resistance significantly higher than the ohmic resistance of the inductor of the LC load network it is thus possible to reach temperatures of the susceptor in the range of 300-400 degrees Celsius in five seconds only or in a time interval which is even less than five seconds, while at the same time the temperature of the inductor is low (due to a vast majority of the power being converted to heat in the susceptor) .
- the device is configured for heating an aerosol-forming substrate of a smoking article.
- This comprises in particular, that power is provided to the susceptor within the aerosol-forming substrate such that the aerosol-forming substrate is heated to an average temperature of between 200-240 degrees Celsius.
- the device is configured for heating a tobacco-laden solid aerosol-forming substrate of a smoking article .
- heating of the aerosol-forming substrate is performed by a contactless (inductive) heating of the susceptor (mainly through hysteresis losses and eddy current losses, as describe above)
- temperature control has been achieved by measuring the voltage and current at the resistive heating element due to the linear dependency of the temperature of the resistive heating element and the ohmic resistance of the heating element.
- the inductive heating device there is a strictly monotonic relationship between the temperature of the susceptor and the apparent ohmic resistance determined from the DC supply voltage of the DC power source and from the DC current drawn from the DC power source.
- This strictly monotonic relationship allows for an unambiguous determination of the respective temperature of the susceptor from the respective apparent ohmic resistance in the (contactless) inductive heating device according to the invention, as each single value of the apparent ohmic resistance is representative of only one single value of the temperature, there is no ambiguity in the relationship.
- the relationship of the temperature of the susceptor and the apparent ohmic resistance is necessarily linear, however, the relationship has to be strictly monotonic to avoid any ambiguous allocation of one apparent ohmic resistance to more than one temperature.
- the strictly monotonic relationship of the temperature of the susceptor and the apparent ohmic resistance thus allows for the determination and control of the temperature of the susceptor and thus of the aerosol-forming substrate.
- the DC/AC converter comprises a class-E amplifier the relationship between the temperature of the susceptor and the apparent ohmic resistance is linear at least for the temperature range of interest .
- Puff determination can be performed without the need of an additional puff sensor. This is due to the fact that once the user takes a puff thus drawing air past the aerosol- forming substrate, this leads to a temperature decrease of the susceptor. This temperature decrease of the susceptor leads to a corresponding decrease of the apparent ohmic resistance, and the magnitude of this temperature decrease (resulting in a corresponding decrease of the apparent ohmic resistance) indicates that a puff has been taken by the user.
- the microcontroller is programmed to detect a puff when the decrease of the apparent ohmic resistance corresponds to a temperature decrease of the susceptor (21) in the range of 10°C to 100°C, more specifically in the range of 20°C to 70°C.
- the microcon- troller is further programmed to allow for the detection of puffs having a duration in the range of 0.5 seconds to 4 seconds, more specifically in the range of 1 second to 3 seconds, and even more specifically of about 2 seconds. This limits the duration of a detectable puff. While some users prefer to take puffs having a short duration only other users prefer to take puffs having an extended duration. Once the puff is finished the temperature increases again until the next puff is taken by the user or until the temperature reaches a desired operating temperature.
- the device further comprises a counter for counting the puffs already taken from the same aerosol-forming substrate, and (optionally) an indicator for showing to the user the number of puffs already taken from the same aerosol-forming substrate, or the number of puffs remaining to be taken from the same aerosol-forming substrate, or both the number of puffs already taken and the number of puffs remaining to be taken from the same aerosol- forming substrate.
- the microcontroller is further programmed to allow for a maximum number of puffs to be taken from the same aerosol-forming substrate.
- the microcontroller is programmed to stop the supply of DC power from the DC power source to the DC/AC converter when the counter has counted the maximum number of puffs taken from the same aerosol-forming substrate.
- the DC power source may be a DC battery, in particular a rechargeable DC battery, for providing a constant DC supply voltage. This allows for recharging the batteries, preferably through a connection to the mains via a charging device comprising an AC/DC converter.
- a charging device comprising an AC/DC converter.
- the power supply electronics comprises a DC current sensor for measuring the DC current drawn from the DC battery, so that the apparent ohmic resistance (which is representative of the temperature of the susceptor) can be determined from the constant DC supply voltage (regardless of whether this constant DC supply voltage is measured or is determined to have the constant value) and the measured DC current the apparent ohmic resistance.
- this aspect allows for the measurement of the DC current only without the need to also measure the DC supply voltage.
- the power supply electronics comprises a DC voltage sensor for measuring the DC supply voltage of the DC power source so that determination of the actual value of the DC supply voltage can be measured in any event.
- the inductive heating device allows for a control of the temperature.
- the microcontroller is further programmed to interrupt generation of AC power by the DC/AC converter when the determined temperature of the susceptor of the aerosol-forming substrate is equal to or exceeds a preset threshold temperature, and in accordance with this aspect the microcontroller is programmed to resume generation of AC power when the determined temperature of the susceptor of the aerosol-forming substrate is below the preset threshold temperature again.
- interrupt generation of AC power is intended to cover cases in which more or less no AC power is generated as well as cases in which generation of AC power is only reduced to maintain the threshold temperature.
- this threshold temperature is the targeted operating temperature which may be, in particular a temperature in the range of 300°C to 400°C, for example 350°C.
- the inductive heating device according to the invention heats the susceptor of the aerosol-forming substrate until the susceptor has reached the preset threshold temperature corresponding to a respective apparent ohmic resistance. At that time, a further supply of AC power by the DC/AC converter is interrupted so that further heating of the susceptor is stopped and the susceptor is allowed to cool down. Once the temperature of the susceptor is below the preset threshold temperature again, this is detected by determination of a corresponding apparent ohmic resistance. At that time, generation of AC power is resumed in order to keep the temperature as close as possible to the targeted operating temperature. This can be achieved, for example, by adjusting the duty cycle of the AC power supplied to the LC load network. This is described, in principle, in WO 2014/040988.
- the DC/AC converter comprises a Class-E power amplifier comprising a transistor switch, a transistor switch driver circuit, and the LC load network configured to operate at low ohmic load, and the LC load network additionally comprises a shunt capacitor.
- Class-E power amplifiers are generally known and are described in detail, for example, in the article "Class-E RF Power Amplifiers", Nathan 0. Sokal, published in the bimonthly magazine QEX, edition January/February 2001, pages 9-20, of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) , Newington, CT, U.S.A..
- Class-E power amplifiers are advantageous as regards operation at high frequencies while at the same time having a simple circuit structure comprising a minimum number of components (e.g. only one transistor switch needed, which is advantageous over Class-D power amplifiers which comprise two transistor switches that have to be controlled at high frequency in a manner so as to make sure that one of the two transistors has been switched off at the time the other of the two transistors is switched on) .
- Class-E power amplifiers are known for minimum power dissipation in the switching transistor during the switching transitions.
- the Class-E power amplifier is a single-ended first order Class-E power amplifier having a single transistor switch only.
- the transistor switch of the Class-E power amplifier can be any type of transistor and may be embodied as a bipolar- junction transistor (BJT) . More preferably, however, the transistor switch is embodied as a field effect transistor (FET) such as a metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) or a metal-semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) .
- FET field effect transistor
- MOSFET metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor
- MEFET metal-semiconductor field effect transistor
- the inductor of the LC load network comprises a helically wound cylindrical inductor coil which is positioned on or adjacent the internal surface of the cavity.
- the class E power amplifier has an output impedance
- the power supply electronics further comprises a matching network for matching the output impedance of the class E power amplifier to the low ohmic load. This measure may be helpful to further increase power losses in the low ohmic load leading to an increased generation of heat in the low ohmic load.
- the matching network may comprise a small matching transformer .
- the total volume of the power supply electronics is equal to or smaller than 2 cm 3 . This allows for an arrangement of the batteries, the power supply electronics and the cavity in a device housing having an overall small size which is convenient and easy to handle .
- the inductor of the LC load network comprises a helically wound cylindrical inductor coil which is positioned on or adjacent the internal surface of the cavity.
- the inductor coil has an oblong shape and defines an inner volume in the range of about 0.15 cm 3 to about 1.10 cm 3 .
- the inner diameter of the helically wound cylindrical inductor coil may be between about 5 mm and about 10 mm, and may preferably be about 7 mm, and the length of the helically wound cylindrical inductor coil may be between about 8 mm and about 14 mm.
- the diameter or the thickness of the coil wire may be between about 0.5 mm and about 1 mm, depending on whether a coil wire with a circular cross-section or a coil wire with a flat rectangular cross-section is used.
- the helically wound inductor coil is positioned on or adjacent the internal surface of the cavity.

- the tobacco-laden solid aerosol-forming substrate 20 comprising susceptor 21 is accommodated in cavity 14 at the proximal end of the device housing 10 such that during operation the inductor L2 (the helically wound cylindrical inductor coil) is inductively coupled to susceptor 21 of the tobacco-laden solid aerosol- forming substrate 20 of smoking article 2.
- a filter portion 22 of the smoking article 2 may be arranged outside the cavity 14 of the inductive heating device 1 so that during operation the consumer may draw the aerosol through the filter portion 22.

- Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the aerosol-delivery system comprising the inductive heating device 1 according to the invention, however, with some optional aspects or components as will be discussed below.
- Inductive heating device 1 together with the aerosol-forming substrate 20 comprising the susceptor 21 forms an embodiment of the aerosol-delivery system according to the invention.
- the block diagram shown in Fig. 2 is an illustration taking the manner of operation into account.
- the inductive heating device 1 comprises a DC power source 11 (in Fig.
- microcontroller microcontroller
- DC/AC converter 132 embodied as a DC/AC inverter
- matching network 133 for adaptation to the load
- inductor L2 the inductor L2
- Microprocessor control unit 131, DC/AC converter 132 and matching network 133 as well as inductor L2 are all part of the power supply electronics 13 (see Fig. 1) .
- the DC supply voltage V DC and the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source 11 are provided by feed-back channels to the microprocessor control unit 131, preferably by measurement of both the DC supply voltage V DC and the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source 11 to control the further supply of AC power P AC to the LC load network, and in particular to inductor L2.

- Fig. 4 shows some essential components of the power supply electronics 13, more particularly of the DC/AC converter 132.
- the DC/AC converter comprises a Class-E power amplifier comprising a transistor switch 1320 comprising a Field Effect Transistor (FET) 1321, for example a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) , a transistor switch supply circuit indicated by the arrow 1322 for supplying the switching signal (gate-source voltage) to the FET 1321, and an LC load network 1323 comprising a shunt capacitor CI and a series connection of a capacitor C2 and inductor L2.

- the DC power source 11 comprising a choke LI is shown for supplying a DC supply voltage V DC , with a DC current I DC being drawn from the DC power source 11 during operation.
- the ohmic resistance R representing the total ohmic load 1324, which is the sum of the ohmic resistance Rcoii of the inductor L2 and the ohmic resistance R Lo ad of the susceptor 21, as this is shown in Fig. 6.
- the volume of the power supply electronics 13 can be kept extremely small.
- the volume of the power supply electronics may be equal or smaller than 2 cm 3 .
- This extremely small volume of the power supply electronics is possible due to the inductor L2 of the LC load network 1323 being directly used as the inductor for the inductive coupling to the susceptor 21 of aerosol-forming substrate 20, and this small volume allows for keeping the overall dimensions of the entire inductive heating device 1 small.
- a separate inductor other than the inductor L2 is used for the inductive coupling to the susceptor 21, this would automatically increase the volume of the power supply electronics, this volume being also increased if a matching network 133 is included in the power supply electronics.
- Class-E power amplifier While the general operating principle of the Class-E power amplifier is known and described in detail in the already mentioned article "Class-E RF Power Amplifiers", Nathan 0. Sokal, published in the bimonthly magazine QEX, edition January/February 2001, pages 9-20, of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) , Newington, CT, U.S.A., some general principles will be explained in the following.
- ARRL American Radio Relay League
- the transistor switch supply circuit 1322 supplies a switching voltage (gate-source voltage of the FET) having a rectangular profile to FET 1321.
- FET 1321 As long as FET 1321 is conducting ("on"-state) , it does essentially constitute a short circuit (low resistance) and the entire current flows through choke LI and FET 1321.
- FET 1321 As FET 1321 is non-conducting ("off-state) , the entire current flows into the LC load network since FET 1321 essentially represents an open circuit (high resistance) . Switching the transistor between these two states inverts the supplied DC voltage and DC current into an AC voltage and AC current.
- an as large as possible amount of the supplied DC power is to be transferred in the form of AC power to inductor L2 (helically wound cylindrical inductor coil) and subsequently to the susceptor 21 of aerosol-forming substrate 20 which is inductively coupled to inductor 2.
- the power dissipated in the susceptor 21 (eddy current losses, hysteresis losses) generates heat in the susceptor 21, as described further above. Or to say it in other words, power dissipation in FET 1321 has to be minimized while maximizing power dissipation in susceptor 21.
- the power dissipation in FET 1321 during one period of the AC voltage/current is the product of the transistor voltage and current at each point in time during that period of the alternating voltage/current, integrated over that period, and averaged over that period. Since the FET 1231 hast to sustain high voltage during a part of that period and conduct high current during a part of that period, it has to be avoided that high voltage and high current exist at the same time, since this would lead to substantial power dissipation in FET 1231. In the "on-"state of FET 1231, the transistor voltage is nearly zero when high current is flowing through the FET 1231. In the "off-"state of FET 1231, the transistor voltage is high but the current through FET 1231 is nearly zero.
- the switching transitions unavoidably also extend over some fractions of the period. Nevertheless, a high voltage- current product representing a high power loss in FET 1231 can be avoided by the following additional measures. Firstly, the rise of the transistor voltage is delayed until after the current through the transistor has reduced to zero. Secondly, the transistor voltage returns to zero before the current through the transistor begins to rise. This is achieved by load network 1323 comprising shunt capacitor CI and the series connection of capacitor C2 and inductor L2, this load network being the network between FET 1231 and the load 1324. Thirdly, the transistor voltage at turn-on time is practically zero (for a bipolar- junction transistor "BJT" it is the saturation offset voltage V 0 ) .
- BJT bipolar- junction transistor
- the turning-on transistor does not discharge the charged shunt capacitor CI, thus avoiding dissipating the shunt capacitor' s stored energy.
- the slope of the transistor voltage is zero at turn-on time.
- the current injected into the turning- on transistor by the load network rises smoothly from zero at a controlled moderate rate resulting in low power dissipation while the transistor conductance is building up from zero during the turn-on transition.
- the transistor voltage and current are never high simultaneously.
- the voltage and current switching transitions are time-displaced from each other.
- Q L quality factor of the LC load circuit
- the effective ohmic resistance of R Co ii and R Load is approximately 0.6 ⁇ .
- An efficiency (Power dissipated in the susceptor 21 / maximum power of DC power source 11) of about 83.5% may be obtained which is very effective.
- the smoking article 2 is inserted into the cavity 14 (see Fig. 2) of the inductive heating device 1 such that the aerosol-forming substrate 20 comprising the susceptor 21 is inductively coupled to inductor 2 (e.g. the helically wound cylindrical coil) .
- Susceptor 21 is then heated for a few seconds as described above, and then the consumer may begin drawing the aerosol through the filter 22 (of course, the smoking article does not necessarily have to comprise a filter 22) .
- the inductive heating device and the smoking articles can generally be distributed separately or as a kit of parts.
- a so-called “starter kit” comprising the inductive heating device as well as a plurality of smoking articles. Once the consumer has purchased such starter kit, in the future the consumer may only purchase smoking articles that can be used with this inductive heating device of the starter kit.
- the inductive heating device is easy to clean and in case of rechargeable batteries as the DC power source, these rechargeable batteries are easy to be recharged using a suitable charging device that is to be connected to the docking port 12 comprising pin 120 (or the inductive heating device is to be docked to a corresponding docking station of a charging device) .
- the relationship does not mandatorily have to be linear, it only has to be strictly monotonic so that for a given DC supply voltage V DC there is an unambiguous relationship between the respective DC current I DC and the temperature T of the susceptor. Or in other words, there is an unambiguous relationship between an apparent ohmic resistance R A (determined from the quotient of the DC supply voltage V DC and the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source) and the temperature T of the susceptor.
- R A determined from the quotient of the DC supply voltage V DC and the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source
- R A corresponds to a series connection formed by an ohmic resistance R CIRCUIT (which is substantially smaller than the ohmic resistance of the susceptor) and a temperature dependent ohmic resistance R SUSCEPTOR of the susceptor.
- a large number of such relationships between R a and the temperature T can be programmed into the microcontroller 131 for susceptors made of different materials and having different geometries, so that during operation of the aerosol-forming device only the respective type of susceptor has to be identified and then the corresponding relationship (already programmed in the microcontroller) can be used for the determination of the temperature T of the respective type of susceptor actually used by determination of the actual DC supply voltage and the actural DC current drawn from the DC power source.
- both the DC supply voltage V DC and the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source 11 can be measured (this can be achieved with a suitable DC voltage sensor and a suitable DC current sensor which can be easily integrated in the small circuit without any relevant space consumption) .
- a DC power source of constant supply voltage V DC a DC voltage sensor can be dispensed with and only a DC current sensor is needed for the measurement of the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source 11.
- Fig. 7 two signals are shown representing the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source 11 (upper signal) and the temperature T of the susceptor 21 (lower signal) determined from the relationship between the apparent ohmic resistance R a and the temperature T for this susceptor 21 which is programmed in the microcontroller 131.
- the current I DC is at a high level and decreases as the temperature T of the susceptor of the aerosol-forming substrate increases (the increase in temperature of the susceptor leads to an increase of R a which in turn leads to a decrease of I DC ) .
- the user may take a puff from the smoking article comprising the aerosol-forming substrate with the susceptor arranged therein.
- air drawn in during a puff of a duration D leads to a quick decrease ⁇ of the temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate 20 and of the susceptor 21.
- This temperature decrease ⁇ leads to a decrease in the apparent ohmic resistance R a , and this in turn leads to an increase in the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source 11.
- These points in time when the user takes a puff are indicated in Fig. 7 by the respective arrows (except for the first puff where the duration D of the puff and the decrease in temperature ⁇ are indicated) .
- the temperature of the susceptor increases again (leading to a respective increase of the apparent ohmic resistance R a and of the temperature T of the susceptor) and the DC current I DC decreases accordingly.
- the puffs shown in Fig. 7 are taken every thirty seconds and have a duration D of two seconds while each puff comprises a volume of fifty-five milliliters of air are drawn in, and the temperature decrease ⁇ of the susceptor 21 is, for example, about 40°C.
- the microcontroller 131 causes the counter 134 counting the puffs taken from the same aerosol-forming substrate to be increased by one and the indicator 100 indicating either the number of puffs taken from the same aerosol-forming substrate or the number of puffs remaining to be taken from that aerosol-forming substrate, or both, to be increased/decreased by one accordingly.
- the puff is finished and the temperature T of the susceptor 21 and the apparent ohmic resistance R a increase again during heating (as described above) the DC current I DC drawn from the DC power source 11 decreases accordingly.
- the DC/AC converter generates AC power until the temperature of the susceptor 21 is equal to or exceeds a preset threshold temperature T th ⁇
- a preset threshold temperature T th e.g. a targeted operating temperature
- the microcontroller 131 is programmed to interrupt further generation of AC power by the DC/AC converter 132. It is then desired to maintain the temperature T of the susceptor 21 at the targeted operating temperature. At the time the temperature T of the susceptor 21 is below the threshold temperature T th again, the microcontroller 131 is programmed to resume generation of AC power again.
- the switching transistor 1231 is switched to a mode in which it generates pulses only every 10 milliseconds for a duration of 1 millisecond (the duty cycle of the switching transistor is only about 9% then) .
- the values of the DC supply voltage V DC and of the DC current I DC are measured and the apparent ohmic resistance R A is determined.
- the apparent ohmic resistance R A is representative of a temperature T of the susceptor 21 which is below the preset threshold temperature T ih , the transistor is switched back to the mode mentioned above (so that the duty cycle of the switching transistor is more or less 100% again) .
- the a susceptor 21 may have a length of about 12 millimeters, a width of about 4 millimeters and a thickness of about 50 micrometers, and may be made of stainless steel grad 430 (SS430) .
- the susceptor may have a length of about 12 millimeters, a width of either about 5 millimeters and a thickness of about 50 micrometers, and may be made of stainless steel grade 420 (SS430) .
- These susceptor may also be made from stainless steel grade 420 (SS420) .
