TORCH IGNITOR SYSTEM WITH COOLED IGNITOR
DRIVE
June 12, 2024
A torch ignitor system (100) includes a torch wall (102) defining a combustion chamber (104) therein with a flame outlet (112) passing out of the torch wall (102) downstream of the combustion chamber (104). A fuel nozzle (108) is mounted to the torch wall (102) to issue fuel into the combustion chamber (104). An ignitor (110) is mounted to the torch wall (102), extending into the combustion chamber (104) to ignite fuel issued from the fuel nozzle (108). A cooling passage (124) is in thermal communication with the ignitor (110) for cooling the ignitor with fluid passing through the cooling passage (124).
