Abstract
In an electronic cigarette of the sort having a housing, a power section, and an atomizer, at least a portion of a first flow stream passes through the atomizer. A mixing valve within the housing has a first input that receives the first flow stream, and a second input receiving a second flow stream (20) that avoids the atomizing element, and an output (34) connected in fluid continuity to the opening in the proximal end, wherein the output conducts a mixture of the first flow stream (25) and the second flow stream (20). The apparatus further includes a regulating element (42) for the mixing valve in order to control a composition of the mixture.
Claims17
An aerosol generating device, comprising:
- a housing having a body, a proximal end and a distal opening that admits a first flow stream, the proximal end having an opening to allow egress of fluid flow therethrough;
- a power section in the housing;
- an aerosol generating section accepting an aerosol-forming material and an aerosol generating element, the aerosol generating element being energized by a power element in the power section, wherein at least a portion of the first flow stream passes through the aerosol generating section and acquires an aerosol from the aerosol generating element therein;
- a mixing valve within the housing having a first input that receives the first flow stream, a second input receiving a second flow stream that avoids the aerosol generating element, and an output connected in fluid continuity to the opening in the proximal end, wherein the output conducts a mixture of the first flow stream and the second flow stream;
- and
- an electronic circuitry configured to program the mixing valve so as to control a composition of the mixture.
A aerosol generating device,
- comprising:
- a housing having a body, a proximal end and a distal opening that admits a first flow stream, the proximal end having an opening to allow egress of fluid flow therethrough;
- a power section in the housing;
- an aerosol generating section accepting an aerosol-forming material and an aerosol generating element, the aerosol generating element being energized by a power element in the power section, wherein at least a portion of the first flow stream passes through the aerosol generating section and acquires an aerosol from the aerosol generating element therein, and wherein a second flow stream divides from the first flow stream upstream from the aerosol generating element and bypasses the aerosol generating element;
- a mixing valve within the housing disposed downstream from the aerosol generating element and having a first input that receives the first flow stream, a second input receiving the second flow stream, and an output connected in fluid continuity to the opening in the proximal end, wherein the output conducts a mixture of the first flow stream and the second flow stream;
- and
- an electronic circuitry configured to program the mixing valve so as to control a composition of the mixture.
