Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrically heated aerosol-generating system and a method of controlling the formation of an aerosol in an electrically heated aerosol generating system.
- the invention finds particular application as an electrically operated smoking system and a method of forming an aerosol in an electrically operated smoking system.
- Electrically operated smoking systems commonly include a resistive heater element that is used to heat a tobacco material in a cigarette, for example.
- known electrically operated smoking systems typically use complex heater elements that may be costly to manufacture and, in some cases, may cause at least part of the cigarette to become stuck in the system when a consumer attempts to remove the cigarette. It would therefore be desirable to provide a novel electrically heated aerosol-generating system that is simple in design and cost effective to manufacture.
- the present invention provides an electrically heated aerosol- generating system for receiving an aerosol-forming article.
- the system comprises a tubular portion for receiving an aerosol-forming article and a heater element comprising an end face.
- the heater element is positioned proximate an end of the tubular portion so that the end face is proximate an end of an aerosol-forming article when the aerosol-forming article is inserted into the tubular portion.
- the system is configured to supply a first amount of electrical energy to the heater element to heat the heater element to a first temperature and to supply a second amount of electrical energy to the heater element to maintain the heater element at a second temperature.
- the difference between the first and second temperatures is at least about 100 degrees Celsius.
- an aerosol-forming article is used herein to mean an article comprising at least one substrate that forms an aerosol when heated.
- an aerosol is a suspension of solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas, such as air.
- the aerosol may be a suspension of solid particles and liquid droplets in a gas, such as air.
- the system according to the present invention can advantageously eliminate the need for a heater element that is inserted into or around a portion of the aerosol-forming article.
- the system according to the present invention can therefore reduce the risk of a portion of the aerosol-forming article becoming stuck in the system when a consumer attempts to remove the article.
- the system according to the present invention requires a heater element having only an end face positioned proximate the aerosol-forming article, the system can utilise a simple heater design that is simple and cost effective to manufacture.
- the system according to the present invention can provide improved control over the heating of an aerosol-forming article using the heater element positioned proximate an end of the aerosol-forming article.
- the difference between the first and second temperatures is at least about 150 degrees Celsius.
- the second temperature is lower than the first temperature.
- the higher first temperature advantageously provides an initial "boost" to reduce the time required to heat an aerosol-forming article to a required operating temperature, whereas the lower second temperature maintains the operating temperature of the aerosol-forming article. Therefore, the first temperature will typically be significantly higher than the operating temperature of the aerosol-forming article and the second temperature will typically be similar to the operating temperature of the aerosol-forming article.
- the first temperature may be at least about 400 degrees Celsius, preferably at least about 450 degrees Celsius.
- the second temperature may be at least about 250 degrees Celsius, preferably at least about 300 degrees Celsius.
- the end face of the heater element may heat an aerosol-forming article inserted into the system by means of conduction.
- the heater element may be at least partially in contact with the aerosol-forming article.
- the heat from the heater element may be conducted to the aerosol-forming article by means of a heat conductive element.
- the heater element may transfer heat to the incoming ambient air that is drawn through the electrically heated aerosol-generating system during use, which in turn heats the aerosol- forming article by convection.
- the heater element preferably comprises a thermally conductive substrate having a substantially cylindrical shape or a disc shape. Additionally, or alternatively, the end face of the heater element is preferably substantially circular.
- the thermally conductive substrate preferably has a thermal conductivity of at least about 15 watts per metre kelvin.

Most preferably, the thermally conductive substrate has a thermal conductivity of between about 15 watts per metre kelvin and about 450 watts per metre kelvin.
- the thermally conductive substrate can be formed from a metal or a ceramic.
- the thermally conductive substrate can be formed from an electrically conductive material, such as a metal or an electrically conductive ceramic. Forming the thermally conductive substrate from an electrically conductive material can simplify the construction of the heater element by facilitating direct resistive heating of the heater element by conducting an electrical current through the thermally conductive substrate.
- a separate electrically conductive element such as a wire coil, can be provided inside the thermally conductive substrate to effect indirect heating of the thermally conductive substrate.
- the thermally conductive substrate may comprise a non-stick coating applied over at least a portion of an outer surface of the thermally conductive substrate, and at least over the end face.
- the non-stick coating helps to prevent parts of an aerosol-forming article sticking to the heater element.
- the non-stick coating may prevent tobacco sticking to the heater element.
- Suitable non-stick coating materials include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), glass, and superhydrophobic materials that exhibit the so-called 'lotus effect'.
- the system may further comprise a supply of electrical energy connected to the heater element to resistively heat the heater element when the system is activated.
- the supply of electrical energy may be a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium-ion battery or one of its variants, for example a lithium-ion polymer battery.

- the electrically heated aerosol-generating system may comprise a thermally insulating material provided between the heater element and an outer housing forming the tubular portion. Thermally insulating materials must not degrade at the high temperatures reached by the heater element.
- the thermally insulating material comprises a metal or another non-combustible material.

- the air flow sensor may be any of: a mechanical device, an optical device, an opto-mechanical device and a micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) based sensor.
- the electrically heated aerosol-generating system may comprise a manually operable switch for a consumer to initiate a puff.
- the electrically heated aerosol-generating system may further comprise a temperature sensor.
- the temperature sensor may detect the temperature of the heater element or the temperature of the aerosol-forming article.
- the temperature sensor may be a thermistor.
- the temperature sensor may comprise a circuit configured to measure the resistivity of the heater element and derive a temperature of the heater element by comparing the measured resistivity to a calibrated curve of resistivity against temperature.
- the electrically heated aerosol-generating system further comprises an indicator for indicating when the heater element is activated.
- the indicator may comprise a light, activated when the heater element is activated.
- the heater element having the end face proximate the end of the aerosol-forming article is the only heater element in the aerosol-generating system. Utilizing only a single heater element can further simplify the manufacture of the system and reduce cost.
- the present invention provides a method of controlling the formation of an aerosol in an electrically heated aerosol generating system, the electrically heated aerosol generating system comprising an aerosol-forming article, a supply of electrical energy, and a heater element connected to the supply of electrical energy and comprising an end face positioned proximate an end of the aerosol-forming article.
- the method comprises a step of supplying electrical energy from the supply of electrical energy to the heater element to resistively heat the heater element to a first temperature.
- the supply of electrical energy to the heater element is then reduced so that the heater element cools to a second temperature lower than the first temperature, wherein the difference between the first and second temperatures is at least about 100 degrees Celsius.
- the supply of electrical energy to the heater element is then controlled to maintain the heater element at the second temperature.
- the method according to the present invention provides a simple and effective means of controlling an electrically heated aerosol generating system having a relatively simple heater design, such as the system described above in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
- Heating the heater element to a higher first temperature advantageously provides an initial "boost" to reduce the time required to heat the aerosol- forming article to a required operating temperature, whereas the lower second temperature maintains the operating temperature of the aerosol-forming article.
- the first temperature may be at least about 400 degrees Celsius, preferably at least about 450 degrees Celsius.
- the second temperature may be at least about 250 degrees Celsius, preferably at least about 300 degrees Celsius.
- the step of controlling the supply of electrical energy to maintain the heater element at the second temperature may comprise the steps of measuring the resistivity of the heater element, deriving a present temperature of the heater element from the measured resistivity, and adjusting the supply of electrical energy to the heater element to reduce any difference between the present temperature and the second temperature.

- the tobacco plug 32 is positioned proximate the substantially circular end face 22 of the heater element 16 so that the tobacco plug 32 is heated to form an aerosol.
- a consumer draws on the mouth end of the article 30 to draw the aerosol through the article 30 and into the mouth.
- a number of air inlets may be provided in the tubular housing 12 to allow air to flow into the aerosol-generating system when the consumer draws on the mouth end of the article 30.
- the air inlets may be positioned such that they overly the tobacco plug 32 when the article 30 is fully inserted into the system 10.
- the air inlets may be positioned so that they overly the diffuser 34 when the article 30 is full inserted into the system 10.
- the diffuser 34 is preferably configured to direct incoming airflow upstream into the tobacco plug 32 before channelling the airflow from the tobacco plug 32 back through a central portion of the diffuser 34 towards the mouth end of the article 30.
- the control electronics 20 initialises the heater element 16 by passing a current from the rechargeable battery 18 through the heater element 16.
- the control electronics 20 monitors the temperature of the heater element 16 and maintains the current until a first temperature is reached. Upon reaching the first temperature the control electronics 20 reduces the current to the heater element 16 until the temperature of the heater element 16 drops to a second temperature. Once the temperature of the heater element 16 has reached the lower, second temperature the control electronics 20 continues to monitor the temperature of the heater element 16 and makes any necessary adjustments to the current supplied to the heater element 16 to maintain the second temperature.
- the control electronics 20 will switch off the supply of current to the heater element 16 after a predetermined period of time at which the article 30 is deemed consumed, or when the consumer stops puffing on the article 30 if sooner.
