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 3 we will present you the PSx-6 and PSx-7 Hex thread flange alumina ceramic igniter model. This model has been originaly developed for the retrofiting of wood pellet stove appliances.
History and development
PSx-6 and PSx-7 alumina ceramic igniter were developped in year 2013 to answer to need of pellet stove manufacturer to retrofit their existing system with ceramic igniter. With their standard size Hex G3/8" thread bushing these models are perfectly adapated to wood pellet stove retrofiting. The PSx-6 model are hermetic (no air can pass in the tube) while in contrary PSx-7 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 widely use in many pellet stoves, pellet boiler, pellet burner and also pellet smoker grills BBQ across the world.
Advantages
- Designed specificaly for wood pellet ignition in pellet stoves
- The industry standard G3/8" Hex flange bushing make it is easy to install and retrofit with old system
- Provided that the installation tube is not too long, no change is necessary to install it
- PSx-6 is well adapted to hermetic stove design
- With PSx-7 model 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
