Ignition applications

Context

In today's automotive world, engine performance, fuel economy and low emissions are key objectives. For gasoline engines, the ignition system is a key factor in achieving these important goals.

 

Ignition coils convert low voltage from the battery into the high voltage necessary to jump the sparkplug gap and ignite the fuel-air mixture in each cylinder.

 

Coil performance is of critical importance to the overall effi ciency of the ignition function, in particular with today's static ignition and electronic fuel injection systems. Fuel consumption, emissions, vehicle reliability and acceleration can all be improved through innovative coil design. And now smart coils can work together with electronic control units to bring advanced functionalities to new engine technologies.

 

Ignition wire sets carry tens of thousands of volts from the coil to the sparkplugs, delivering maximum spark energy to the engine. They too can affect vehicle performance. Advanced design and manufacture can avoid problems related to electromagnetic interference, energy loss, misfi res and vehicle breakdowns.

 

With long experience in ignition systems, Electricfil develops innovative technologies and products to meet your needs, offering improved reliability and performance while reducing costs.

 

Ignition coils needs

In today's gasoline engines, ignition coils must satisfy a number of needs to meet objectives in engine performance, fuel economy, low emissions and cost:

  • High energy efficiency
  • Extended spark duration
  • Minimum electromagnetic interference
