Reasons why the igniter of a gas boiler does not ignite
Thread Content
What are the reasons why a gas boiler’s ignition gun will not ignite? The purpose of the HOFAMAT three-point ignition gun is to provide a flame in the combustion area of the burner; its structure consists of two concentric tubes. The function of the central tube is to supply gas, guide it to the nozzle, and provide a high-pressure ignition spark, which is generated between the gas nozzle tip and the outer tube. Ceramic insulators and PTFE sockets provide the insulating material, while the outer tube serves as an air passage. The KI series of ignition guns use special materials and are precisely designed and manufactured to ensure their performance and durability. The basic ignition gun consists of a fuel pipe, an air pipe, and a composite spark ignition tip.
This is likely a high-energy igniter; it contains a step-up transformer that raises the voltage to around 2000–3000V. There is a device in it that allows one to observe arc discharge – if there is no discharge, then it’s damaged
