Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021204996A1] An aerosol generation device comprising: a power supply module comprising an electrical power supply; a substrate module comprising a container for an aerosol substrate; and a heater module configured to detachably engage with the power supply module, the heater module comprising: a mouthpiece; a heating element configured to receive power from the electrical power supply and heat the aerosol substrate to generate an aerosol; and a receiving means configured to detachably engage with the substrate module and bring the heating element and the aerosol substrate together for generating the aerosol, wherein: the container of the substrate module is sealed prior to engaging with the heater module, and the heater module is configured to break the sealing of the container upon or after engaging with the substrate module, the heater module receiving means is adapted to partly enclose the substrate module when engaged therewith, and the power supply module is adapted to partly enclose the heater module when engaged therewith. Additionally described are the power supply module, substrate module and heater module as individual elements, as well as packages for distributing a plurality of substrate modules.
