Abstract
An electrically heated aerosol-generating system for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate includes a heating element including a first electrically conductive element electrically insulated from a second electrically conductive element by an electrically insulating portion. The first and second elements are elongate and are electrically connected to each other by an electrically resistive portion. At least one electrically conductive element and the electrically resistive portion are arranged such that they are at least partially in contact with the aerosol-forming substrate.
Claims20
A heating element for heating an aerosol-forming substrate in an electrically heated aerosol-generating system, the heating element comprising:
- a first electrically conductive element electrically insulated from a second electrically conductive element by an electrically insulating portion therebetween, the first and second electrically conductive elements being elongate and being electrically connected to each other by an electrically resistive portion.
An electrically heated aerosol-generating system comprising a housing containing at least one heater for heating a substrate to form an aerosol, the heater comprising:
- a holder;
- a heating element including a first electrically conductive element electrically insulated from a second electrically conductive element by an electrically insulating portion, the first and second electrically conductive elements being elongate and being electrically connected to each other by an electrically resistive portion therebetween, wherein the first and second electrically conductive elements and the electrically resistive portion are adapted to heat an aerosol-forming substrate;
- a first end of the heating element forming a heating portion being exposed outside the holder and a second end of the heating element forming a mounting portion being mounted in the holder;
- and
- a connection for connecting the mounting portion of each heating element to a power supply to supply electric current through the first and second electrically conductive elements.
