History and development

PSx-5 alumina ceramic igniter was developped lately to answer to the needs of pellet stove manufacturers for economical retrofit solution. With their standard size adjustable Hex G3/8" thread bushing that the customer fix themselves it is a very economical solution and is perfectly adapted to wood pellet stove retrofiting.

Today these models are sold across the world for pellet stove and pellet BBQ/smokers.

Advantages

  • Very economic solution for manufacturer with high cost constraints
  • The industry standard G3/8" Hex flange bushing make it is easy to install and retrofit with old systems
  • G3/8" Hex fitting is adjustable and can easily be fixed
  • Provided that the installation tube is not too long, no change is necessary in exting system to install it
  • Air can go through the tube to increase ignition speed and radiant effect
  • Powerful 300W heating element: can ignite all kind of biomass and even humid pellet = no ignition failure

Application of use

  • Wood Pellet stove
  • Wood pellet burner
  • Wood pellet BBQ / smoker

History and development

PSx-3 and PSx-4 alumina ceramic igniter were developped in year 2013 to provide test model and universal spare parts solution for the retrofit market. With their flangeless body, universal fixation system these models can be easily adapted with whatever bushing solution. The PSx-3 models are hermetic (no air can pass in the tube) while in contrary PSx-4 model have an open tube to let air pass through the inner tube and take advantage of inner heat for a faster ignition.

Today these models are mainly use in pellet stoves, pellet boiler, pellet burner and also pellet smoker grills BBQ.

Advantages

  • Easy retrofit solution with universal fixation system
  • Well adapted to test facility
  • Powerful 300W heating element: can ignite all kind of biomass and even humid pellet = no ignition failure

Application of use

  • Wood Pellet stove
  • Wood pellet boiler
  • Wood pellet burner
  • Wood pellet BBQ / smoker

1 day 1 igniter: day 2 - PSx-2

In a new series of post we are treating each day 1 model of ceramic igniter. The advantage of each design and how to use it.

On day 2 we will present you the PSx-2 alumina ceramic igniter model. This model has been specificaly been developed for the ignition of wood pellet, wood chips or other biomass combustible in pellet stove or pellet boiler appliances.

History and development

PSx-2 alumina ceramic igniter was developped in year 2012 to answer to the requirement of a famous pellet boiler mnaufacturer to improve the reliability and performance of its appliances. It has been developped in close colaboration with most experienced pellet boiler engineers and designers, so it is perfectly adapated to wood pellet and wood chips ignition. The design take advantage of the high temperature of the igniter surface but also internal tube heat. In this way it can achieve very fast ignition.

Since beginning we have refined the design several time, to get the shape that we have today.

Today this model is widely use in many pellet stove, pellet boiler, pellet burner and also pellet smoker grills BBQ over the world.

Advantages

  • Designed specificaly for pellet/biomass ignition
  • The shape of ceramic bushing make it is easy to install in tube of Ø18mm
  • The igniter can be slided and adjust at desired distance from burner pot
  • Air can go through the tube to increase ignition speed and radiant effect
  • Powerful 300W heating element: can ignite all kind of biomass and even humid pellet = no ignition failure

Application of use

  • Wood Pellet stove
  • Wood pellet boiler
  • Wood pellet burner
  • Wood pellet BBQ / smoker
  • Wood chips boiler
  • Biomass combi boiler (dual pellet/wood)
