RF IGNITER HAVING INTEGRAL PRE-COMBUSTION CHAMBER

摘要

An igniter (18) for an internal combustion engine (10) is disclosed. The igniter may have a base (28), and a cap (30) fixedly connected to the base to form an integral pre-combustion chamber (34). The cap may have at least one orifice (40). The igniter may also have an electrode (32) extending through the base and at least partially into the integral pre-combustion chamber. The electrode may be configured to direct current having a voltage component in the RF range into the integral pre-combustion chamber.
