High frequency polarization aerosol generator for vaporizing liquid
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240032600A1) describes a high frequency polarization aerosol generator that includes a housing with an electrical power source connected to a high frequency oscillation circuit operating at frequencies ranging from 50 KHz to 980 MHz. The circuit comprises various components such as inductors, capacitors, and electrode pads to create an LC oscillation loop. A liquid supply in the housing provides a polar liquid into a space between the electrode pads, which is then vaporized via dielectric heating when the circuit is activated by a switch. The generator aims to efficiently produce aerosols using high frequency oscillation technology.
Furthermore, the patent application details variations of the high frequency polarization aerosol generator, including different oscillation circuits such as a transformer isolation circuit and a MOSFET push-pull oscillation circuit. These variations also involve the use of capacitors for positive feedback signals and different power sources like batteries with inverters to drive the oscillation circuit. The design variations aim to optimize the vaporization process of the polar liquid in the generator, catering to different applications and requirements. Overall, the patent application showcases the innovative use of high frequency oscillation technology in aerosol generation, offering potential advancements in various industries requiring aerosol production.
