Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002051467
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An aerosol generator includes an induction heating arrangement (100) to vaporize fluid contained in a fluid passage (120). The vapor is then expelled from the fluid passage (120) into the air creating a mist that forms the aerosol. The aerosol generator includes an excitation coil (110) that inductively heats a heating element (122) which transfers heat to the fluid in the fluid passage (120) . The fluid passage (120) can be located in a metal tube (122) which can be removably mounted in the aerosol generator.
