AI Technical Summary
Existing ignition systems for gas pilot burners are bulky and require separate components for ignition and flame detection, which increases the size of the pilot burner and the burden on the burner plenum.
A fuel integrated spark igniter that combines the functions of a pilot burner and ignition source, using a conduit, insulator, and shell to create an internal spark gap with a semiconductor material, reducing the need for separate components and minimizing external wear on the semiconductor material.
The integrated design reduces the size of the pilot burner, extends the life of the semiconductor material by minimizing exposure to heat, and enhances flame stability and detection, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the ignition process.
