Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an induction heating device for heating an aerosol-forming substrate. The invention also relates to an aerosol delivery system comprising such an induction heating device. The invention also relates to methods of operating such aerosol delivery systems. Background technique [0002] Prior art aerosol delivery systems are known comprising an aerosol-forming substrate, usually a tobacco-containing plug. To heat the tobacco plug to a temperature at which volatile components that can form an aerosol are released, a heating element such as a heating blade (usually made of metal) is inserted into the tobacco plug. The temperature of the heating element in direct contact with the aerosol-forming substrate (tobacco plug) was determined to represent the temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate. The temperature of the heater chip is calculated using the known relationship between the ohmic resistance of the heater chip and...
