Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aerosol-cooling elements for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material are disclosed. In one example, the element is a rod having a first end and a second end and comprising at least one tube within the rod, with the at least one tube extending between the first end and the second end so as to provide a through hole extending between the first end and the second end of the rod.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An aerosol-cooling element for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material, the aerosol-cooling element comprising: a rod having a first end and a second end and comprising plural tubes within the rod, the plural tubes extending between the first end and the second end so as to provide plural through holes extending between the first end and the second end of the rod, wherein the plural tubes serve to conduct heat away from aerosol passing through the plural through holes to cool the aerosol. 2. The aerosol-cooling element according to claim 1 , wherein the rod is formed of a first material and the at least one tube is formed of a second material different from the first material. 3. The aerosol-cooling element according to claim 1 , wherein the rod is formed of cellulose acetate. 4. The aerosol-cooling element according to claim 3 , wherein the rod is formed of a cellulose acetate tow. 5. The aerosol-cooling element according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one tube is formed of at least one of silicone rubber, ethylene vinyl acetate, or polypropylene.
