    摘要: A corona igniter 20 includes an electrode gap 28 between the central electrode 22 and the insulator 32 and a shell gap 30 between the insulator 32 and the shell 36. An electrically conductive coating 40 is disposed on the insulator 32 along the gaps 28, 30 to prevent corona discharge 24 in the gaps 28, 30 and to concentrate the energy at a firing tip 58 of the central electrode 22. The electrically conductive coating 40 is disposed on an insulator inner surface 64 and is spaced radially from the electrode 22. The electrically conductive coating 40 is also disposed on the insulator outer surface 72 and is spaced radially from the shell 36. During operation of the igniter 20, the electrically conductive coating 40 provides a reduced voltage drop across the gaps 28, 30 and a reduced electric field spike at the gaps 28, 30.

    摘要: A corona ignition system 20 includes a corona drive circuit 26 and an auxiliary energy circuit 28. The energy circuit 28 stores energy during a standard corona ignition cycle. When arc discharge occurs or corona discharge switches to an arc discharge, the energy circuit 28 discharges the stored energy to the electrode 30 to intentionally maintain a robust arc discharge 29 and thus provide reliable ignition. The stored energy is transmitted to the electrode 30 over a predetermined period of time. The arc discharge is detected and an arc control signal 60 is transmitted to the energy circuit 28, triggering discharge of the stored energy to the electrode 30. The stored energy can be transmitted to the electrode 30 along a variety of different paths. The voltage of the stored energy is typically increased by an energy transformer 70 before being transmitted to the electrode 30.

    摘要: A corona igniter 20 includes a coil 24 with a plurality of copper windings 26 extending longitudinally along a coil center axis ac. A magnetic core 30 is disposed along the coil center axis ac between the windings 26 and includes a plurality of discrete sections 32. The discrete sections 32 are spaced axially from one another by a core gap 34 filled with a non-magnetic gap filler 78. The magnetic core 30 has a core length Im and the coil 24 has a coil length Ic less than the core length Im. A coil former 62 having a former thickness tf spaces the coil 24 from the magnetic core 30. A length difference Id between the core length Im and the coil length Ic is preferably equal to or greater than the former thickness tf.
