Abstract:
1. Apparatus for evaporating volatile products in which evaporation occurs by means of a chimney effect, comprising: a casing and an evaporation intensity regulation system, wherein the evaporated product passes through windows or openings which section can be regulated by restriction of the passage of the same; wherein the casing further comprises a top surface including an axial opening positioned in opposition to a wick of the apparatus to allow for the flow of evaporated product through the axial opening and wherein the windows or openings are positioned around the axial opening and wherein the restriction of the passage of said windows or openings is carried out by means of a complementary part of the evaporation intensity regulation system mounted on said casing, wherein said complementary part incorporates openings that can be set in opposition in a greater or lesser extent to the windows or openings provided on said top surface of the casing so that the chimney effect is varied depending on the degree of opposition between the windows or openings of the casing and the openings of the complementary part in order to regulate the flow of evaporated product and consequently the intensity of evaporation; and a heating device mounted in the casing and operable to heat at least a portion of the wick.
