TURBINE IGNITERS

• Silver-plated shell for protection against corrosion

and seizing at mechanical interfaces.

• Advanced glass and mechanical sealing features

design outside the combustor case for protection

against gas leakage under high temperature

conditions.

• Internal conﬁguration designs that optimize heat

ﬂow away from terminations to protection sensitive

ignition lead components.

• Internal termination protective coating to prevent

lead component seizing.

• Firing end design conﬁgurations that can deliver

igniter life up to 5,000 ﬂight cycles in select

applications.

• Use of external wear and thermal barrier coatings

to protect the life limiting features from wear and

thermal distress.

• Option for three different semiconductor bodies

for low voltage application requirements.

FEATURES

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Champion Aerospace is a leading

supplier to the OEM turbine engine

market for airline, business aviation,

general aviation, space and military

aircraft applications. Champion Aero-

space has produced igniter designs for

global customers, including land and

marine power plants; oil, gas, and coal

furnaces; oil rig operations; and pumping stations. Champion

can provide Industry certiﬁcation compliant hardware for

hazardous environment requirements (i.e. CSA, CE, ATEX etc…)

Plus, it builds more gas turbine igniter models than all other

manufacturers combined.

Champion-engineered safety retention features and long-life

capable designs are the best in the business. Champion

developments to extend life in the turbine igniter design include

optimized use of precious metals, super alloys, coatings, air-cooled

tip designs, fuel drain slots (which keep the igniter from quenching)

and high temperature sealing features to survive today’s extreme

combustor conditions. Champion also uses engobe semi-

conductive/solid body semiconductor materials for more reliable

response to difﬁcult starting conditions.

Champion’s unmatched internal Ceramic Manufacturing capability

permits design and manufacture of industry leading Alumina

Oxide insulators and Silicon Carbide semiconductors which sets

it apart from the competition in product performance, quality and

response time.
