The mouthpiece comprises a liquid storage portion (203) and a capillary wick (207) having a first end (207a) and a second end (207b). The first end of the wick extends into the liquid storage portion for contact with liquid (205) therein. The mouthpiece also comprises a heating clement (209) for heating the second end of the capillary wick, an air outlet (211), and an aerosol forming chamber (213) between the second end of the capillary wick and the air outlet. When the shell and mouthpiece are engaged, the heating element is in electrical connection with the power supply via the circuitry and the circuitry is arranged to provide an electric current pulse to the at least one heating element when a user initiates a puff. In addition, a flow route for air is defined torn at least one air inlet to the air outlet via the aerosol forming chamber, and the flow route channels the air flow around the heating element and the second end of the capillary wick. In use, liquid is transferred from the liquid storage portion towards the heating element by capillary action in the wick. Liquid at the second end of the capillary wick is vaporised by the heating element. The supersaturated vapour created, is mixed and carried in the air flow font the at least one air inlet to the aerosol forming chamber. In me aerosol forming chamber, the vapour condenses to form an aerosol, which is carried towards the air outlet into the mouth of a user.

This invention relates to an electric heating system, which contains aerosol-containing substrate. In particular, this invention relates to an electric heating system for smoking, which contains an aerosol dispensing substrate, and this aerosol-containing substrate is a liquid.
In many well-known documents, for example, IZ-A-5060671, IZ-A-5388594, IZ-A-5505214, IZ-A-5591368, OTO-A-2004/043175, EP-A-0358002 and OTO-A-2007 / 131449, describes electric curing systems that have different advantages. One of these advantages is that they substantially reduce the side jet of smoke while at the same time allowing the smoker to temporarily stop and recover the smoking.
Other known documents such as EP-A-0295122, EP-A-1618803 and EP-A-1736065 describe electrical smoking systems in which the aerosol-containing substrate is a liquid. This liquid can be placed in a cartridge that can be placed in the cabinet. The intended power supply, such as a battery, is connected to a heater intended to warm the liquid substrate during dragging to form an aerosol that comes in the fryer.
Known electrically heated smoking systems, including those described above, really have numerous advantages, but there is still room for improvement. Accordingly, the purpose of this invention is to provide an improved electric heating system.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, an electric heating chamber system is created which includes a hollow buccal portion and a variable part inserted into the mouth, said cavity attachment portion includes an electric power supply and an electric chill; said component inserted into the mouth includes a container for the liquid, a capillary magnet having a first end and a second end, the first end to contact with fluid extends within the fluid container, at least one heating element for heating the second end of the capillary moss, the outlet for air and chamber formation of an aerosol, which is located between the second end of the capillary gonot and the outlet for air; moreover, when the hollow bearing part and the part inserted into the gate are connected, said at least one heating element is in an electrical connection to the power supply through said electric circuits, the electric circuits are made with the possibility of feeding the pulse of the electric current to said at least one heating element when the user initiates the tightening, and the channel is determined for the passage of air from at least one air inlet to said outlet an air hole through the aerosol formation chamber, to which the air flow is directed around the heating element and the other gogo end of capillary wick.
At least one inlet for air can be made in the hollow outboard part or in the part inserted into the mouth. When using electric heating system, the liquid under the action of capillary forces in the capillary pus comes from the reservoir for the liquid of the heating element. When the heating element is activated, the liquid from the second end-capillary bud is evaporated by means of the heating element to form an over-saturated vapor. The formed super-saturated vapor is mixed with the air flow and transferred to it from at least one inlet to the air into the aerosol formation chamber. In the body of aerosol formation, the steam condenses with the formation of an aerosol, which moves toward the outlet for air and into the user's mouth.
The electric heating system of the present invention provides several advantages. Firstly, because the variable part inserted into the mouth includes at least one heating element, a reservoir for fluid and a wick, all elements that are potentially included in the contact with the liquid are replaced when the part inserted into the mouth is replaced. There is no cross-contamination in the hollow incisor between the various parts inserted into the mouth, for example, those for which different fluids are used. In addition, the liquid in the liquid container is protected from oxygen (due to the fact that oxygen in essence can not get into the container for liquid through the capillary oppression), and in certain embodiments, said liquid is protected from light in such a way that the risk of decomposition of the liquid is significantly reduced. Thus, a high level of hygiene can be maintained. Secondly, the design of the part inserted into the mouth provides low probability of leakage from the contents of the liquid, which does not occur in many well-known electric heating chambers. This prevents the flow of liquid, and also makes it difficult for an outsider to access the liquid by removing the part inserted into the mouth. Also, if the part inserted into the mouth is replaced with the appropriate periodicity, then the probability of contamination of the heating element is insignificant. Thirdly, due to the fact that the electric circuits give an impulse to the electriccurrent when the user initiates a delay, as well as because the flow of air is diverted This prevents the flow of liquid, and also makes it difficult for an outsider to access the liquid by removing the part inserted into the mouth. Also, if the part inserted into the mouth is replaced with the appropriate periodicity, then the probability of contamination of the heating element is insignificant. Thirdly, due to the fact that the electric circuits give an impulse to the electriccurrent when the user initiates a delay, as well as because the flow of air is diverted This prevents the flow of liquid, and also makes it difficult for an outsider to access the liquid by removing the part inserted into the mouth. Also, if the part inserted into the mouth is replaced with the appropriate periodicity, then the probability of contamination of the heating element is insignificant.

In this case, the inert material may include a capton (Cariop), completely polyimide or mica foil. Alternatively, at least one heating element can be executed in the form of a sheet of material that can be wrapped around the second end of the capillary wick. This sheet can be made of any suitable material, for example, an alloy on the basis of iron and aluminum, an alloy on the basis of iron, manganese and aluminum or the Titeaya alloy. The sheet may have a rectangular shape or may have a structured shape that can form a design similar to a coil after wrapping around the second end-capillary wick. Other alternatives include a heating wire or a thread, for example, from a wire made from Nitrogen, platinum, tungsten or alloys such as wire described in EP-A-1736065 or a heating plate.

The heating element can completely or partially surround the second end of the capillary squint.
This at least one heating element can heat the liquid from the other end-capillary drone through heat conduction.

convection Air from the environment can be heated before passing through the system. The air from the environment may first be passed through the second knot of the jet, and then heat, as described in MO-A-2007/078273.
In the preferred embodiment, the electric circuits include a sensor for detecting the air flow, indicating that the user has been tightened. This sensor can be an electromechanical device. Alternatively, the sensor can be any of the following devices: a mechanical device, an optical device, an opto-mechanical device and a sensor based on microelectromechanical systems (MEM8). In this case, the preferred welding device is the electric circuits arranged to provide a pulse of electric current to said at least one heating element when the sensor detects the user's execution of the tightening. In a preferred embodiment, the pulse duration of the electric current is predetermined, depending on the amount of liquid that needs to be evaporated. For this, in a preferred embodiment,
Alternatively, electric circuits may include a manual switch for the user intended to initiate a delay. In a preferred embodiment, the duration of the pulse of the electric current is predetermined, depending on the amount of liquid to be evaporated. For this, in the preferred embodiment, the electric circuits are programmable.
In the preferred embodiment, at least one air inlet is performed in the hollow outboard portion. Alternatively, this at least one inlet vent is made in a part inserted into the mouth. In one embodiment, at least one inlet for air includes two inlets for air. Alternatively, three, four, five or more inlets for air can be made. Preferably, if more than one incoming air is drawn up, these air inlets are located at a certain distance from each other around the hollow incisor or around the part inserted into the mouth. In an embodiment, which is preferred, electric circuits include a sensor for detecting airflow, which indicates that the user is tightening, at least one inlet for air is made in the hollow outboard portion above the flow relative to the sensor. Inlet air vents are arranged so that the air passage channel airflow around the heating element and the second end of the capillary jet so as to optimize the formation of an aerosol.

The power source can be an ion-lithium battery or one of its modifications, for example, ion-lithium polymer battery. Alternatively, the power source may be a nickel-metal hydride battery, a nickel-cadmium battery or a fuel cell. In this case, in an advantageous embodiment, the electric heating system may be used by a smoker until the energy in this fuel cell is exhausted.
Alternatively, the power source may include elements charged by the external charging portion.

In an embodiment of the invention, in which the electric circuits include a manual switch, the indicator may be activated by a switch.
In the preferred embodiment, the hollow buccal part and part is inserted into the mouth, connected to each other with the possibility of disengagement.
In a preferred embodiment, the reservoir for the liquid is not replenished. So, when the liquid in the container for the liquid is exhausted, the part inserted into the mouth is completely replaced. Alternatively, the reservoir for the liquid can be replenished. In this case, the part inserted into the mouth, can be replaced after a certain amount replenishment of the contents for the liquid. In a preferred embodiment, a container for

иА 100734 С2
the liquid is made with the ability to hold the liquid for a predetermined number of zaps.
The mentioned liquid has physical properties (including viscosity), which make it possible to transport the liquid through capillary oppression under the action of capillary forces. The liquid has a boiling point suitable for the application of this liquid in the electric heating system: if the point boiling is too high, the heating element will not be able to evaporate the liquid from the second end of the capillary gonot, and if the boiling point is too low, the liquid can evaporate even without activating the heating element. In the preferred option, the fluid includes a tobacco-containing material containing volatile flavoring tobacco compounds that are released from the liquid during heating. Alternatively, the liquid may include non-toxic material. The liquid may contain water, solvents, ethanol, plant extracts and natural or artificial flavors.

Preferably, the reservoir for the liquid does not include any porous materials, as a result of which there is only a single capillary device in the electric heating system (capillary gut). This retains the structure of the parts inserted into the mouth, simple, while the whole system requires minimal technical maintenance. In a preferred embodiment, the container is opaque, and thus restricts the expansion of the liquid with light.
An electrically heated smoking system may further include a nebulizer having at least one heating element. In addition to the heating element, the spray can include one or more electromechanical elements, such as piezoelectric elements. Additionally or alternatively, the spray can also include elements in which electrostatic, electromagnetic or pneumatic principles of action are applied.

In the chamber 213, the aerosol formation of the steam is condensed by the production of an inhaled aerosol, which extends toward the outlet 211 and the user's cavity.
In this embodiment, the block 105 and the delay detection system 107 are programmable. The block 105 and the delay detection system 107 can be used to control the operation of the device. In this embodiment, when the detecting detection system 107 detects that the user is tightening, the battery supplies a current pulse of a predetermined duration to the heating coil 209. This predetermined pulse duration of the current will depend on the amount of fluid required for one delay and the time required to evaporate this amount of liquid. This, in turn, depends on the properties of the liquid, the heating coil and the capillary wry. This predefined time can range from 0.5 s to 3 s.
In this embodiment, the cartridge 203 in the portion inserted into the mouth has the following dimensions to accommodate a sufficient amount of fluid for a predetermined number of pins.

The system of the present invention makes it possible to control the concentration of particles (mg / l or volume) in aerosol, the average particle size in aerosol, and the distribution (range) of particle size in aerosol. This can be controlled by varying one or more of the following factors: the composition of the aerosol formulation in the liquid, the transfer of energy (thermal power per unit area of surface) on the heating element, the design of the camera formation aerosol and operating temperature. The transfer of energy will depend on numerous factors, including the materials used for heating elements and the wicker, the diameter of the wick, the design of the heating element, including - if the heating element is a coil - the length, diameter and step (distance between the turns) of the coil, and as well as the power supplied to the heating element.
The operating temperature should be controlled in such a way as to ensure, if possible, that there is no undesirable deterioration in the quality of the aerosol or aerosol formers. This can be achieved, for example, by controlling the temperature of the heater if the heater is made of an acceptable metal or alloy, by applying a change in electrical conductivity, or by controlling the amount of energy supplied to the heater. The operating temperature of the preferred heating element is in the range of 100 ° C. to 300 ° C. The construction shown in the figures can work in this temperature range and can also provide a short reaction time (the time between the user's tightening from the system and the flow of aerosol into the user's mouth through the outlet for air - this may be called "
