Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020174073A1] An aerosol-generating system (40) comprising an aerosol-generating article (10) and an aerosol-generating device (30). The article (10) has an upstream end (11) and a downstream end (12), defines a longitudinal direction and comprises an upstream segment and a downstream segment (14). The upstream segment comprises an aerosol-forming substrate (13) having a substrate outer surface (17) with a substrate outer diameter (D2). The downstream segment (14) has a downstream segment outer diameter (D1) greater than the substrate outer diameter (D2). The device (30) comprises a device cavity inner surface (33) having a device cavity inner diameter (D4), the device cavity (32) being configured to receive at least the aerosol-forming substrate (13). The device (30) comprises at least one heating element (31). When the aerosol-forming substrate (13) is received in the device cavity (32), an airflow passage (35) is defined between the substrate outer surface (17) and the device cavity inner surface (33).
