How Do Direct Spark Ignition Systems and Flame Sensing Work?


These aren't your grandma's ignition systems -- these are systems that use a DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) board, and that means you've got algorithms involved.

If you want to troubleshoot a DSI system, you need to understand this algorithm -- it's how the board thinks. Is the DSI board not sending any voltage to the electrodes? Well, it might just be in lockout mode after a failed ignition, meaning the problem lies elsewhere than the board. You can't troubleshoot a system if you don't know how it works.

Furthermore, these DSI boards don't have to just guess when ignition has successfully taken place. They can sense the presence of a flame. How exactly do they do that?

That's exactly what we cover in this recording. Watch the entire discussion below. These Live Dojo workshops are open to anyone, so keep an eye on our calendar to join in next one.
