Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Ignition System

Definition
The ignition system is a critical component of the burner assembly responsible for safely and reliably initiating the combustion process. It typically consists of electrodes, transformers, control modules, and safety devices that work together to create the initial spark or pilot flame needed to ignite the main fuel supply.
Working Principle
The ignition system operates by generating a high-voltage electrical spark between electrodes or by creating a small pilot flame. When activated, it produces sufficient thermal energy to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the burner chamber, initiating the combustion process that is then sustained by the main fuel flow.
Common Materials
Ceramic, Stainless Steel, Copper Alloy
Technical Parameters
  • Spark voltage required for reliable ignition (kV) Per Request
