Study on Performance of Multi-channel Plasma Igniter Under Low Pressure
In order to promote the ignition performance of the existing aero-engine ignition plug and solve the problem of narrow engine ignition boundary under extreme conditions at high-altitude
a kind of embedded multi-channel plasma igniter multi-channel plasma igniter(MCPI)is designed and developed based on multi-channel discharge technology and plasma synthetic jet technology in this paper. The discharge characteristic experiment of multi-channel plasma igniter and traditional semiconductor spark igniter(SI)under different pressure is developed. The spark jet penetration depth
average jet velocity and maximum affected area of two types of igniters are analyzed by the discharge image
which is obtained on the basis of high-speed image acquisition system and by the use of numerical image processing method. The results show that the discharge energy and efficiency of MCPI are better than that of SI at different air pressures. The penetration depth of the jet generated by MCPI is increased by 69.45% compared with that of SI at 100 kPa. The maximum affected area of jet spark of SI and MCPI decreases with the decrease of air pressure. However
the maximum affected area of jet spark of MCPI is larger than that of SI under the same pressure. At low pressure of 20 kPa
the maximum affected area of MCPI is three times that of SI.
