Abstract
Disclosed herein are aspects of portable vaporizers to deliver aliquots of heated air to material in a unitary furnace. The furnace is multipurposed reducing heat loss, air leakage and delays in availability of air aliquots at the proper temperature for use. By dividing the unitary furnace with an air permeable divider and placing material in the chamber a controller selectively providing electrical power to a heating element configured to heat air in at least an upper region of the unitary furnace. Upon application of suction to the fluid passage heated air passes into the material and vaporizes organic oils in the material and said heating a volume of air inside a unitary furnace vaporized material can be withdrawn from the fluid passage.
Claims14
A convection portable aromatherapy vaporizing system comprising:
- a power supply (75);
- a heating system comprising;
- a unitary furnace (100) with an open top (102) and bottom end comprising;
- a material region “CR”;
- an upper region “UR”;
- a mid region “MR”;
- a lower region “LR′;
- wherein the material chamber is formed by dividing the unitary furnace with an air permeable divider (110);
- a floor (120) configured to at least partially seal off the bottom end of the unitary furnace;
- a heating element (410) inside the mid region “MR”;
- a temperature sensor (202) fixed in close proximity to the floor within the unitary furnace;
- a controller (210) in signal communication with at least the sensor, heating element, power supply and on/off control (5016);
- and,
- wherein at least a portion of air heated by the heating element during vaporization of material (M) enters the bottom (104) of the unitary furnace from an air insulation zone “AIZ” surrounding the exterior of the unitary furnace.
A method to deliver aliquots of heated air to material, the method comprising:
- forming a material region (CR) in an unitary furnace having an exterior, open top and open bottom by dividing the unitary furnace with an air permeable divider and placing material “M” in the CR;
- partially sealing off the open bottom of the unitary furnace with a floor;
- partially sealing off the open top of the unitary furnace;
- providing a fluid communication for air to enter the bottom of the unitary furnace;
- a controller selectively providing electrical power to a heating element within the unitary furnace configured to heat air in at least an upper region (UR) of the unitary furnace;
- providing a top fluid passage in communication with the top of the unitary furnace;
- applying suction to the top fluid passage;
- and,
- wherein heated air passes into the material and vaporizes organic oils;
- and,
- wherein vaporized material is withdrawn from the top fluid passage.
