Unison Industries (Hall 4 Stand C14) has launched a new high-energy, high-temperature turbine engine ignition system designed to meet the “growing trend of climbing engine temperatures and combustion pressures.”
The Acclimate ignition system features solid-state electronics, with exciter performance that can vary depending on specific combustion and environmental requirements, according to Unison. This helps optimize ignition performance and overall system life, the company added.
Another reason for developing Acclimate is because regulators are increasingly imposing constraints on traditional spark-gap ignition systems.
The adaptive capability in Acclimate is enabled by electronic circuits that can adjust spark energy and spark rate according to software-generated commands and sensor data that is based on environmental conditions. Fadec or electronic engine controls can also command Acclimate functionality.
Unison Industries is a GE Aviation company with manufacturing facilities in Florida, New York, Ohio, Mexico, and Poland. Yesterday here at the Farnborough Airshow the company announced that Giovanni Spitale had been appointed as the new Unison president.
