Definitions

  • FIG. 15 is an electrical schematic of the heater arrangement of FIG. 13;
  • FIG. 20 is a schematic of a heater arrangement according to still another embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the present disclosure is directed to heater arrangements for volatile material dispensers that are highly efficient while providing an enhanced plume and avoiding condensation formation within the dispenser.
  • Heater arrangements according to embodiments of the present disclosure generally require less power to dispense a volatile material.
  • dispensers according to embodiments of the present disclosure preferably require 2.0 Watts (“W”) or less to perform, whereas existing dispensers sometimes require more than 2.0 W.
  • W Watts
  • dispensers according to embodiments of the present disclosure generally outperform existing dispensers. More specifically, when operating at comparable power inputs, dispensers according to embodiments of the present disclosure are able to emit more volatile material than existing dispensers.
  • the lower casing 160 comprises a cylindrical center portion 180 that defines a channel 182 therethrough.
  • Two elongate guide posts 184 extend upwardly from a first lower end 186 of the lower casing 160 and are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis 120.
  • the elongate guide posts 184 extend from the first lower end 186 on opposing sides of a first channel end 188 of the channel 182 and are provided to secure the heater arrangement 110 (see, e.g., FIG. 12) therein, which will be described in greater detail below.
  • heat may be distributed substantially uniformly longitudinally along the wick 130 and/or the heater arrangement 110.
  • the heater arrangement 110 may apply a greater or lesser amount of heat at different longitudinal or radial portions of the wick 130, e.g., by locating the heater closer to or farther from the wick, by forming the housing 104 of more or less thermally conductive material at different longitudinal or radial positions, by adding one or more additional heaters at different locations, or by modifying the geometry of the housing 104 to be closer to or farther from the wick 130 at different locations.
