摘要:
Featured is an ignition system (100) using miniaturized hot surface igniters (120) of various types, configurations, and material systems. The ignition system (100) includes an electronic microprocessor (242) on which a software program is executed so as to control the operation of an igniter (120) and all functions of the ignition system (100). The software program evaluates performance characteristics relating to operation of the igniter (120). Additionally, the software program determines operation parameters and characteristics for energizing the igniter (120) when it determines that the operation parameters and characteristics for energizing should be updated or revised.
