AN EVAPORATOR AND A VAPORISING DEVICE

摘要

An evaporator (2) for evaporating an aromatherapy oil comprises a body member (18) terminating in a plug element (20) and having a receptacle forming element (22) extending from the plug element (20). The receptacle forming element (22) defines a receptacle (23) for the aromatherapy oil. The plug element (20) is engageable with a heated socket (5) of a vaporising device (1). The heated socket (5) is formed in a housing (12) which is heated by a gas catalytic combustion element (13). A spigot accommodating bore (21) extending into the plug element (20) accommodates a heat transfer spigot (17) located in the heated socket (5). The plug element (20) engages the heated socket (5) and the spigot (17) with heat conducting engagement for transferring heat from the heated socket (5) to the receptacle (23) for evaporating the aromatherapy oil.
