TESI makes a broad range of high energy ignition rods, including a high-temperature range for direct ignition of main burners without a pilot. These rods light natural gas, fuel gas, diesel, light fuel oil and heavy fuel oil. Options include side or coaxial pneumatic retraction (to protect the tip from flame and dirt after ignition), tilting flexible rods that follow the burner angle, and guide pipes. Rods come in 12, 14 and 17 mm standard diameters. Length, diameter and accessories are made to order, in safe-area or Ex d versions.
Why high energy tips
- The powerful spark lights reliably whatever the contamination or humidity.
- Tips are self-cleaning, because each spark cleans the tip surface.
- Tips screw on, so they can be replaced quickly without pulling the whole pilot.
- Spares and accessories are held in stock.
Replaceable spark tips
| Code | Tip | Operating temperature | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| HERC17 | Ø17 mm | 760 °C (max. 1000 °C) | Standard |
| HERC17 HT | Ø17 mm | 1000 °C | High temperature |
| HERC17 HD | Ø17 mm | 760 °C (max. 1000 °C) | Increased durability |
| HERC17 HD HT | Ø17 mm | 1000 °C | High temperature, increased durability |
| HEM17 / HEM17 HT | Ø17 mm reduced to 12 mm | 760 °C (max. 1000 °C) / 1000 °C | Standard / high temperature |
| HEM14 / HEM14 HT | Ø14 mm reduced to 12 mm | 760 °C (max. 1000 °C) / 1000 °C | Standard / high temperature |
All tips suit outdoor, waterproof, gas and heavy oil service. On 12 mm igniters the tip is welded rather than replaceable.
