    摘要: An inductive heating device (1) for heating an aerosol-forming substrate (20) comprising a susceptor (21) comprises: a device housing (10), a DC power source (11) for providing a DC supply voltage (VDC) and a DC current (IDC), a power supply electronics (13) comprising a DC/AC converter (132) comprising an LC load network (1323) comprising a series connection of a capacitor (C2) and an inductor (L2) having an ohmic resistance (RCoil), a cavity (14) in the device housing (10) for accommodating a portion of the aerosol-forming substrate (20) to inductively couple the inductor (L2) to the susceptor (21). The power supply electronics (13) further comprises a microcontroller (131) programmed to determine from the DC supply voltage (VDC) and from the DC current (IDC) an apparent ohmic resistance (Ra), and from the apparent ohmic resistance (Ra) the temperature (T) of the susceptor (21). It is further programmed to monitor changes in the apparent ohmic resistance (Ra) and to detect a puff when a decrease of the apparent ohmic resistance (Ra) is determined which is indicative of a temperature decrease of the susceptor (21) during a user inhalation.
