Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022074220A1] An aerosol generating device (100) is described. The aerosol generating device (100) includes a heating chamber (110) arranged to receive an aerosol substrate (121), the heating chamber (110) operable to heat the aerosol substrate (121) to generate an aerosol; a compressing element (130) configured to change shape above a threshold temperature; such that the compressing element (130) extends into the heating chamber (110) during a heating operation of the aerosol generating device (100). In this way, an improved thermal contact with the aerosol substrate (121) is achieved and maintained even where shrinkage of the aerosol substrate (121) occurs during heating.
