DRIVE
June 13, 2012
An igniter device (30;130;230;330) for a combustion system (10) includes an igniter housing (42;142;242;342) and a pressure sense passage (50;150;250;350). The igniter housing (42;142;242;342)s urrounds an electrode (46;146;246;346) and an insulating body (44;144;244;344). The igniter has a tip (34;134;234;334) to be positioned within a chamber for combustion (18). The pressure sense passage (50;150;250;350) is attached to an exterior surface of the igniter housing. The pressure sense passage (50;150;250;350) is configured to direct a fluid to a pressure sensor (37).
