1. A system for consistently emitting a volatile material, the system including:
- a volatile material dispenser having a diffusion element; and
a refill adapted for disposal within the volatile material dispenser and including a container having a volatile material disposed therein and a wick having a first end disposed in contact with the volatile material in the container and a second end extending out of the container;
wherein a time that it takes a weight loss of the system to reach a steady state weight loss is less than or equal to about 1.0 hour.

Abstract
A system for consistently emitting a volatile material includes a volatile material dispenser having a diffusion element. The system further includes a refill adapted for disposal within the volatile material dispenser and including a container having a volatile material disposed therein and a wick having a first end disposed in contact with the volatile material in the container and a second end extending out of the container. A time constant for (Parameter 4) for the system is less than or equal to about 1.0 hour when estimated using the equation: Predicted mass change=Parameter4+(Parameter3*T)+(Parameter2*exp(−T/Parameter1)).

15. A system for consistently emitting a volatile material, the system including:
-
a volatile material dispenser having a diffusion element; and a refill adapted for disposal within the volatile material dispenser and including a container having a volatile material disposed therein and a wick having a first end disposed in contact with the volatile material in the container and a second end extending out of the container; wherein the system reaches steady state in less than or equal to about 1.0 hour such that a composition of the volatile material when emitted remains substantially the same throughout a life of the refill and remains substantially the same as an initial refill composition before the refill has been installed within a dispenser. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 19, 20)
