Shisha device with active cooling element for aerosol condensation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918038B2) discloses a shisha device with innovative features aimed at enhancing the smoking experience. The device includes a vessel for holding liquid, an aerosol-generating element connected to the vessel via an airflow channel, a cooling element to cool the aerosol, an accelerating element to speed up the aerosol flow, and a chamber to collect the accelerated aerosol. The cooling element can provide both active and passive cooling, utilizing materials like a heat pump, fan, or heat sink to transfer heat away from the airflow channel efficiently. Additionally, the device is designed to offer a resistance to draw of 45 mmWG or less, ensuring a smooth smoking experience for users.
Furthermore, the patent details the integration of the cooling element and accelerating element to form a nozzle, enhancing the aerosol flow dynamics. The device is also equipped to preheat the air entering the aerosol-generating element, contributing to the overall efficiency of the smoking process. With a focus on improving the aerosol generation process without combustion, the shisha device aims to provide a more controlled and enjoyable smoking experience for users. These innovative features set this patented shisha device apart in the market, offering a unique and enhanced smoking experience for enthusiasts.
