2.0 Definitions
Spark – An electric current arc.
High Energy Ignition – Electric spark ignition system utilizing high energy sparks for direct
ignition of hydrocarbon fuels such as gas, diesel, or #6 oil. (Note: the Motivator3™ is
intended for igniting gas only)
High Energy Exciter – An electronic device that stores electric charge and releases it cyclically
in abrupt bursts to an igniter to create high power sparks.
3.0 Chentronics® High Energy Ignition Systems
Chentronics® High Energy Ignition (HEI) systems directly ignite burner fuels by providing short
time duration (impulse), high current electrical arcs commonly referred to as sparks. These
sparks are generated by abruptly releasing electrical energy (charge) stored in large capacitors.
The energy is released through an igniter driver circuit called a pulse forming network to
specialized high energy igniters. The result is a high power spark with increased ability to ignite
fuels.
Figure 2: High Energy Exciter basic schematic.
Chentronics® High Energy Ignition Systems are designed to operate in conditions of extreme
temperature, moisture, and contamination; creating high power sparks that dependably
provide direct spark ignition to a wide range of fuels in a wide range of adverse conditions.
