Abstract:
An electrically operated aerosol-generating system may be configured to detect adverse conditions (e.g., a dry heater). The system may comprise an electric heater comprising at least one heating element for heating an aerosol-forming substrate, a power supply, and electric circuitry connected to the electric heater and to the power supply and comprising a memory. The electric circuitry may be configured to measure an initial electrical resistance (R 1 ) of the electric heater; measure a subsequent electrical resistance of the electric heater after the measurement of the initial electrical resistance; determine the difference (ΔR) between the initial electrical resistance and the subsequent electrical resistance; determine that an adverse condition is present if the difference is greater than a maximum threshold value (ΔR max ) or less than a minimum threshold value (ΔR min ) stored in the memory; and control a power to the electric heater and/or provide an indication if the adverse condition is present.

Claim (Index 16):
The aerosol-generating system according to  claim 14 , wherein the electric circuitry is further configured to detect an existence of an electrical connection between the electric circuitry and the heater and to measure the initial resistance of the heater after the electrical connection is detected.
