Air charger for treating engine and industrial combustion gases - ignites mixt. with moist air via spark plug with voltage induced by interrupting current through gas mixt.

摘要

A continuous flow stream of combustion products conducted through a chamber is mixed with moisture-laden ambient air and ignited by discharge from a spark plug connected to the high voltage terminal of a secondary winding in an ignition coil assembly having a primary winding connected between a source of d.c. voltage and a terminal exposed to a gaseous mixture in the chamber. The high voltage applied to the spark plug is induced by intermittent interruption of the flow of current through the ionized gaseous mixture grounded in the chamber resulting from restricted inflow of moisture-laden air into the chamber.
