What are the ignition methods of gasoline engines?
1 Answers
Gasoline engines have the following ignition methods: 1. Capacitor discharge controlled by single-cylinder thyristor: mainly used in motorcycles. 2. High-voltage mechanical rotating distributor type: still used in some cars, but gradually being phased out due to high losses and requiring maintenance. 3. Computer-controlled dual-cylinder simultaneous ignition method: only used for even-numbered cylinder engines, where a pair of cylinders reaching top dead center simultaneously spark together. 4. Single-cylinder independent ignition method: each cylinder has its own ignition coil without high-voltage wires, representing the best ignition system, all using vacuum ignition. Additional information: Ignition system: A device in oil engines used to ignite the combustible mixture in the cylinder. Its function is to provide high-voltage electricity with sufficient energy to the spark plug in the order of cylinder ignition, generating sparks between the spark plug electrodes to ignite the compressed combustible mixture in the cylinder.
