Information About

Ignition




Ignition occurs when the heat produced by a reaction becomes sufficient to sustain a chemical reaction. The sudden change from a cold Gas to a hot Plasma in a plasma source is also called ignition.

Other uses of ignition include:
  • in Chemistry , it refers to heating a material to the point that it spontaneously Combusts , or until it ceases to lose mass.

  • in Nuclear Fusion , it refers to the conditions under which a plasma can be maintained by fusion reactions without external energy input.

  • in Semiconductor Processing , ignition is the process of starting up a plasma generator. In DC plasma systems, this involves a transition from voltaic arcing to sustained and delocalized plasma generation.

  • an Ignition System is a method for activating and controlling the combustion of fuel in an internal combustion engine, often through the use of a key
