Heating element for inhalable aerosol systems
The patent US12029248B2 describes a heating element designed for systems that provide inhalable aerosols. The heating element consists of a base body made from an electrically insulating material, a heating structure affixed to the base body, and a cover layer that secures the heating structure. A notable feature is the inclusion of a PT1000 temperature sensor with two feed lines, which can be either flat ribbon or wire feed lines. These feed lines are constructed from materials such as platinum, nickel, copper, or brass and are coated with gold, silver, or platinum. The cover layer also includes a sheath for the temperature sensor, enhancing the element's functionality.
The patent further details various configurations and materials for the base body, which can be tubular or in the form of a sleeve, and may consist of aluminum oxide, anodized aluminum, or glass-coated steel. The heating structure can be applied through methods such as printing, vapor deposition, or laser ablation. Additionally, the production method for the heating element involves several steps, including the arrangement of the heating structure and cover layer, with options for using temperature-resistant plastics or baked glass. This comprehensive design aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of heating elements in aerosol delivery systems.
