Woodward’s Fast Turbulent Igniter (FTI) provides fast, consistent ignition of gaseous fuel mixtures in internal combustion engines. It delivers more even and complete burning of the fuel, increasing engine efficiency and improving exhaust emissions. The FTI is
Large-bore engines running on lean gaseous fuel mixtures often experience a slower burn rate of the fuel and incomplete combustion. These conditions reduce combustion efficiency and contribute to problematic exhaust emissions. Typical J-gap spark plugs try to address these performance issues by increasing the spark energy, which shortens plug life. To counter decreasing spark plug life, J-gap manufacturers often increase electrode area, which has a “quenching” effect on the ignition spark, increasing combustion variability; or they use precious metals, which increase manufacturing complexity and reduce plug durability.
The FTI’s unique and patented design enables consistent ignition without the need for a high-energy ignition system, reducing the need for precious metal electrodes to achieve long life. It is also customizable to meet specific engine combustion requirements.
