  • Publication number: 20250064130
    Abstract: Apparatus for an aerosol generating system comprises an inductive element for inductively heating a susceptor arrangement to heat an aerosol generating material to thereby generate an aerosol, an insulating member which in use is located between the inductive element and the susceptor arrangement to thermally insulate the susceptor arrangement from the inductive element; a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature at a location in the system insulated in use from the susceptor arrangement by the insulating member, and a control arrangement. The control arrangement is configured to monitor the temperature measured by the temperature sensor and take a control action if, based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor, the control arrangement determines that the susceptor arrangement is overheating.
