What is the ignition system of a car?

The automobile ignition system of Pacific Auto Network is a spark ignition engine, which regularly provides high-voltage electricity with high enough energy to the spark plug according to the ignition sequence of each cylinder, so that the spark plug can generate strong enough spark to ignite the combustible mixture.

The ignition system is divided into traditional ignition system and electronic ignition system. Automobile ignition system includes ignition switch, ignition coil, distributor assembly, spark plug, etc. Its function is to generate high-voltage electric spark and ignite the mixture in the cylinder of gasoline engine.

In modern gasoline engines, the mixture of fuel and air in the cylinder is mostly ignited by high-voltage electric spark. Spark ignition has the advantages of fast spark formation, accurate ignition time and easy adjustment. In order to generate high-voltage sparks in the cylinder, a special ignition device must be adopted. According to different sources of electric energy, ignition devices can be divided into battery ignition and magneto ignition.

Ignition system is the most basic power source for engine operation, an important part of all automobile systems, and a system that converts gasoline into power source. The performance and high efficiency of automobile ignition system are closely related to engine power, automobile fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
