Abstract
A system and method for induction heating a vaporization device is disclosed. The system includes a pipe having an inlet and an outlet, a heating rod extending from a proximal end to a distal end and defining a fluid channel, and a heating assembly. The proximal end of the heating rod is configured to engage the inlet of the pipe and the fluid channel extends through at least a portion of the heating rod. The heating assembly includes a coil concentric with at least an induction portion of the heating rod and one or more electrical components configured to deliver power to the coil so that the coil can heat the heating rod through induction heating.
Claims20
A vaporization device comprising:
- a pipe having an inlet and an outlet;
- a heating rod extending from a proximal end to a distal end, the proximal end being configured to engage the inlet of the pipe, wherein the heating rod and the pipe define a fluid channel, the fluid channel extending from the distal end of the heating rod to the outlet of the pipe;
- and
- a heating assembly comprising a coil concentric with at least an induction portion of the heating rod and one or more electrical components configured to deliver power to the coil so that the coil can heat the heating rod through induction heating.
A method, comprising:
- installing a heating rod in an inlet of a pipe;
- installing the heating rod and the pipe in an induction heating assembly having a coil such that at least a portion of the coil is concentric with the heating rod;
- conducting an electrical current through the coil;
- inducing one or more currents in the heating rod via the electrical current conducted through the coil to Joule heat the heating rod;
- contacting a consumable with the heated heating rod to generate vaporization products;
- and
- siphoning the vaporization products from a distal end of the heating rod, through the heating rod and the pipe, to a pipe outlet.
A heating assembly for a vaporization device comprising:
- a heating rod having a fluid channel extending from a distal end of the heating rod;
- a pipe having an outlet at a proximal end of the pipe, wherein the pipe is fluidly coupled to the fluid channel of the heating rod and the pipe and the heating rod are configured to guide fluid from the distal end of the heating rod to the outlet of the pipe;
- an induction coil configured to be concentric with at least a portion of the heating rod of a dip-style vaporization device;
- and
- one or more electrical components electrically coupled to the induction coil and configured to deliver power to the induction coil so that the induction coil can heat the heating rod through induction heating.
