Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020245009A1] There is provided an aerosol-generating article (10) for producing an aerosol upon heating, the aerosol-generating article comprising a rod of aerosol-generating substrate (12); a hollow tubular support element (14) positioned immediately downstream of the rod of aerosol-generating substrate; and an aerosol-cooling element (16) downstream of the hollow tubular support element. The aerosol-cooling element (16) extends all the way to a downstream end of the aerosol-generating article, and comprises a hollow tubular segment having a transverse wall (26) at a location between an upstream end and a downstream end of the hollow tubular segment. Thus, the hollow tubular segment defines a first cavity (28) upstream of the transverse wall and a second cavity (30) downstream of the transverse wall (26). The transverse wall comprises one or more openings (32) establishing a fluid communication between the first cavity (28) and the second cavity (30).
