Abstract
An aerosol generating device includes a heating chamber for receiving at least part of an aerosol generating substrate and a plurality of inductively heatable susceptors spaced around a periphery of the heating chamber. An aerosol generating system is also provided herein. The aerosol generating system includes the aerosol generating device in combination with an aerosol generating substrate.
Claims17
An aerosol generating device comprising:
- a heating chamber for receiving at least part of an aerosol generating substrate;
- and
- a plurality of inductively heatable susceptors spaced around a periphery of the heating chamber,
- wherein the heating chamber comprises a chamber wall defining an interior volume of the heating chamber, and the plurality of inductively heatable susceptors are spaced around an inner surface of the chamber wall, and
- wherein the heating chamber includes a plurality of elongated support ribs spaced circumferentially around the inner surface of the chamber wall and the plurality of circumferentially spaced elongated support ribs provide the heating chamber with a reduced cross-sectional area and are configured to form a friction fit with an aerosol generating substrate positioned, in use, in the heating chamber.
