Title:
DUAL VOLTAGE REGULATING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE HOT SURFACE IGNITERS AND METHODS RELATED THERETO
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/047776
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for energizing a low voltage electrical resistance igniter are disclosed. The systems and methods determine the line voltage into the system and control the voltage being applied to the electrical resistance igniters so a first regulated voltage is applied initially and for a time period and thereafter a second regulated voltage is applied, the second voltage being the operating voltage for the igniter. The systems and methods decrease the amount of time required to heat-up the low voltage electrical resistance igniter to a temperature sufficient to ignite a fuel-air mixture while regulating the output voltage being delivered to the igniters to prevent over voltage damage to the igniters.
