ELECTRICALLY HEATED AEROSOL GENERATING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

There is provided an electrically heated aerosol generating system for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate. The system comprises at least one heating element (309) for heating the substrate to form the aerosol and a power supply (301) for supplying power to the at least one heating element. The power supply comprises a voltage source (303), two or more supercapacitors (305, 307), and switches (51, 52, 53, 54, 55) between the voltage source and the two or more supercapacitors. The switches are arranged such that, during a charging mode, the two or more supercapacitors are connected, at least partially, in parallel with each other, for charging by the voltage source and, during a heating mode, the two or more supercapacitors are connected in series with each other, for discharging through the at least one heating element.
