    摘要: The invention relates to a heater assembly for generating an inhalable aerosol. The heater assembly comprises an electrically insulating element and an electrical resistive heater. The heater comprises a central heating portion, which is configured to be heated. The heater further comprises electrical contacts, which contact the central heating portion and which are configured to supply electrical energy to the central heating portion. The heater further comprises anchoring legs, which are configured bendable. The anchoring legs are arranged adjacent to the central heating portion and configured to mechanically anchor the electrical resistive heater to the electrically insulating element. The anchoring legs are configured forming a chamfer for guiding insertion of an aerosol-generating article.

    摘要: An aerosol-generating device and system are disclosed. The aerosol-generating device includes a heater for heating an aerosol-generating material, a power supply for supplying electric power to the heater, and a controller for controlling the amount of electric power supplied to the heater. In a first section, the controller controls the amount of electric power supplied to the heater such that the aerosol-generating material is heated to a first temperature during a first time period. In a second section, after the first section, the controller controls the amount of electric power supplied to the heater such that the aerosol-generating material is heated to a second temperature, which is higher than the first temperature. In a third section, after the second section, the controller controls the amount of electric power supplied to the heater such that the aerosol-generating material is maintained at a third temperature, which is lower than the second temperature.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for direct electrical heating of a fluid conduit, also referred to in one form as a tube. A fluid heating system includes a tube defining a fluid passage. The tube includes a material having a conductivity greater than 1.0 Siemens per meter (S/m) at 20° Celsius. The material is distributed along the tube and the fluid passage defines an inlet configured to receive fluid and an outlet configured to release the fluid. The system includes a first power supply, which includes a first circuit. The first circuit is configured to conduct first electric current across a first portion of the tube and the first circuit includes a first galvanic isolator between a source of the first power supply and the first portion of the tube. The first power supply is configured to heat the tube based on the first electric current.
