An Inside Look at the Hot Surface Igniter
Ignition systems are vital components in gas-fired appliances, providing the means to initiate combustion by igniting the gas-air mixture. Over the years, various advanced ignition technologies have been developed, each offering unique advantages in terms of efficiency, reliability, and performance. In this article, we will explore some of these advanced ignition technologies and materials including hot surface igniters, plasma igniters, and other innovative approaches for fuel ignition. In addition, we will outline why HPC Fire Inspired chooses to use the hot surface igniter in our electronic ignition fire features.Hot Surface IgnitersHot surface igniters are critical components in many gas- fired appliances, providing a reliable method for igniting the gas-air mixture. While silicon nitride and silicon carbide are commonly used materials [...]
