APPLICATION

Gas Turbines whether burning liquid or gaseous fuels all require a robust ignition source to provide reliable light offs. The TI 100 improves upon many of these OEM systems by providing a High Energy spark that will overcome ignition problems such as condensation on the igniter.

The TI 100 can provide these high energy sparks at a rapid rate of up to 21 sparks per second.

COMPONENTS

The ignition system consists of four components:
The Exciter
The Igniter
The Input lead to connect the exciter and igniter
A housing for the igniter that is specific to model of gas turbine

EXTENDED LIFE

The Igniter itself is expected to last at least 600 starts. The Exciter is expected to last more than 3000 starts.

HIGH ENERGY OUTPUT

Many Turbine Ignition systems use spark gaps. In effect there is a release of stored energy across a gap when a capacitor stores a sufficient charge. As the gap in the igniter wears, the igniter requires more voltage to fire and the output voltage from the igniter decreases. The TI 100’s advanced design eliminates this phenomenon of decreased power with age. In fact, the TI 100 spark will only increase in intensity as the igniter tip wears.
