This report describes basic method for measurement of spark energy on all types of capacitance discharge exciters. Reference is made to other methods which may be used if limitations are observed.
To describe typical ignition systems in general usage and their parameters that warrant consideration during the development of a gas turbine engine. To describe those parameters in gas turbine engine design and, in particular, burner configurations that influence the type selection and performance of the ignition system. To indicate the areas where future work may uncover important effects having a direct bearing on certain interrelated parameters, with resultant benefits to both the engine and ignition designers.
