Some Cool Facts About High-Energy Igniters

Xi'an High-Energy IgniterPrimarily, there are three main types:

Electrical Pulse Igniters: Pulse igniters have a smaller energy output due to their low power, resulting in a lower spark temperature. For burners with high ignition points and low concentration mixed gases, the ignition rate is often low, leading to frequent issues like failure to ignite or explosive combustion, which can be hazardous. Prolonged and intermittent ignition can easily damage burners that rely on fuel combustion.

Xi'anHigh-Energy IgniterElectronic High FrequencyHigh-Pressure IgniterHigh power and high ignition energy produce a high spark temperature, but the ignition time is generally no more than 5 minutes, otherwise it is prone to overheating and damage. Additionally, its large and heavy size makes installation and transportation difficult.

Coil Silicon Steel Sheet Igniters: High power and energy output for high spark temperature, ignition time of about 10 minutes; otherwise, overheating and damage may occur. Compact and lightweight, but domestically produced ones generally have poor quality, with imports occupying 90% of the market.

Defect

Four Major Deficiencies:

1. Unable to meet the requirements of multi-cylinder and high-speed engine operation.

2. Spark plug carbon buildup is difficult to clean.

3. Difficulty in selecting system capacitors.

4. The contact gap requires frequent adjustment.

Remote Igniter Quality Identification

When plugging in the wires of the igniter, do not connect the power line (the charging end of the AC igniter) first, or disconnect the high-voltage output wire of the magneto in advance. After confirming that the ground wire of the igniter is properly connected to the vehicle's electrical circuit ground, remove the high-voltage cap from the spark plug and insert a spare spark plug and touch it to the body of the vehicle. Next, connect the DC circuit on the motorcycle (the hot wire is connected to the battery's positive pole) to the charging end of the igniter.

2. After connecting the circuit to the igniter as instructed, turn the magneto to send an ignition signal to the igniter from the trigger sensor, and observe if the spark plug sparks. If the spark plug sparks, it is a DC igniter. (The charging terminal of an AC igniter typically withstands hundreds of volts, indifferent to the battery's 12V.) If it doesn't spark temporarily, check the cause meticulously and carefully, or use a multimeter to determine the igniter's nature; do not readily misjudge it as an AC igniter.

Xi'an High-Energy IgniterPrimarily, there are three main categories:

Electrical Pulse Igniters: Pulse igniters have lower energy for ignition due to their small power output, resulting in lower spark temperatures. For mixtures containing gases with high ignition points and low concentrations, the combustion igniters with forced air often have a low ignition rate, leading to frequent safety issues like failure to ignite or explosive combustion. Continuous and prolonged attempts to ignite can easily damage the burner due to excessive fuel combustion.

1. Unable to meet the requirements for multiple engine cylinders and high RPM.

2. Difficulty in cleaning carbon deposits from spark plugs.

3. Difficulty in selecting system capacitors.

Quality Discrimination of Remote Igniters

When connecting the wires of the igniter, do not connect the power line (the charging end of the AC igniter) first, or disconnect the high-voltage output wire of the magneto in advance. After confirming that the ground wire of the igniter is properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system ground, remove the high-voltage cap from the spark plug and insert a spare spark plug to the body of the vehicle. Next, connect the motorcycle's DC circuit (the hot wire is connected to the battery's positive terminal) to the charging end of the igniter.

After connecting the circuit to the igniter as mentioned above, turn the magneto to send an ignition signal to the igniter from the trigger sensor, and check if the spark plug fires. If the spark plug fires, this is a DC igniter. (The charging terminal of an AC igniter usually withstands hundreds of volts, showing no effect on the battery's 12V.) If it doesn't fire temporarily, check the cause carefully and meticulously, or use a multimeter to determine the igniter's nature; do not easily misjudge it as an AC igniter.
