What is the ignition system composed of?
1 Answers
The ignition system is composed of a battery, generator, distributor, ignition coil, and spark plugs, and is an important component of gasoline engines. The function of the ignition system is to generate an electric spark with sufficient energy between the electrodes of the spark plug in a timely manner according to the working sequence of the cylinders. The ignition system is divided into: 1. Traditional mechanical contact ignition system, where the ignition timing and primary coil current control are completed by mechanically driven breaker contacts; 2. Contactless electronic ignition system, which uses high-power transistors as switches to replace mechanical contacts; 3. Microcomputer-controlled electronic ignition system, which adopts microcomputer control based on the electronic ignition system to improve adjustment accuracy and adaptability to various working conditions.
