A Novel Dual-Electrode Plug to Achieve Intensive Electric Field for High Performance Ignition

الملخص EN

A thorough analysis of electric field is carried out so as to verify that a novel dual-electrode plug can build intensive electric field and can improve the main drawbacks of feeble electric field and low ignition efficiency of the traditional plug.

With intensive electric field, the proposed novel plug can achieve high performance ignition, resulting in fuel saving and exhaust reduction.

Gauss law is applied for electric field analysis to show that intensive electric field can be built by the novel plug.

Then, according to Faraday law a lower-voltage ignition feature accomplished by the plug is discussed.

Compared with traditional plug, the novel dual-electrode plug has the following advantages.

(1) Much higher energy density is built between the plug electrodes, lowering ignition voltage requirement.

(2) Electromagnetic interference (EMI) problem caused by high ignition voltage is readily resolved.

(3) Ignition time delay can be improved.

(4) The feature to save fuel consuming is achieved.

(5) The exhaust of CO and HC is reduced significantly.

Practical measurements are fulfilled to validate the electric field analysis and to demonstrate the features of the proposed dual-electrode plug.
