INHALER
The present disclosure relates to an inhaler component for producing a steam/air mixture or/and condensation aerosol in an intermittent and inhalation- or pull-synchronous manner, the inhaler component including: a housing; a chamber arranged in the housing; an air inlet opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber; an electrical heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material; and a wick having a capillary structure, which wick forms a composite structure with the heating element and automatically supplies the heating element with fresh liquid material after evaporation.
1 . An inhalator component for an inhalator device, for the intermittent formation, synchronous with inhalation or drawing, of at least one of a vapor air mixture or a condensation aerosol, comprising:
a housing;
a chamber arranged in the housing;
an air admission opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber;
an electric heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material, wherein a vapor that is formed is mixed in the chamber with the air supplied through the air admission opening to form the at least one of the vapor air mixture or condensation aerosol; and
wherein a supply of energy from the inhalator device to the heating element is divided into at least two periods, a heating up period and an evaporation period, the evaporation period following the heating up period.
2 . An inhalator component for an inhalator device, for the intermittent formation, synchronous with inhalation or drawing, of at least one of a vapor air mixture or a condensation aerosol, comprising:
a housing;
a chamber arranged in the housing;
an air admission opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber; and
an electric heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material, wherein a vapor that is formed is mixed in the chamber with the air supplied through the air admission opening to form the at least one of the vapor air mixture or condensation aerosol,
wherein a supply of energy from the inhalator device to the heating element is for a time period less than a period of activation of the inhalator device.
3 . An inhalator component for an inhalator device, for the intermittent formation, synchronous with inhalation or drawing, of at least one of a vapor air mixture or a condensation aerosol, comprising:
a housing;
a chamber arranged in the housing;
an air admission opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber; and
an electric heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material, wherein a vapor that is formed is mixed in the chamber with the air supplied through the air admission opening to form the at least one of the vapor air mixture or condensation aerosol,
wherein a supply of energy from the inhalator device to the heating element is modulated to prevent thermal decomposition of the liquid material.
4 . An inhalator component for an inhalator device, for the intermittent formation, synchronous with inhalation or drawing, of at least one of a vapor air mixture or a condensation aerosol, comprising:
a housing;
a chamber arranged in the housing;
an air admission opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber; and
an electric heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material, wherein a vapor that is formed is mixed in the chamber with the air supplied through the air admission opening to form the at least one of the vapor air mixture or condensation aerosol,
wherein a supply of energy from the inhalator device to the heating element is modulated to control at least one characteristic of the at least one of the vapor air mixture or condensation aerosol.
