Spark Plug with Integrated Chamber

Spark plug with integrated chamber increases the quality of ignition of homogenous mixture in the engine cylinder. Very small amount of burning mixture bursts (outflows) from chamber (so-called flame jet ignition) which heads into faster initial phase of burning. From view of cycle to cycle variations the procedure of consequent burning is more stable. Spark plug’s case with integrated chamber is exposed by higher thermal stress than classis spark plug. This fact has to be respected during design of spark plug with integrated chamber. This article shows the how configuration of the lower part of spark plug with integrated chamber can change the type of spark and how flame-jet ignition will affect parameters of burning mixture during operating cycle
