The phrase "an ignition element" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to engines, combustion, or any situation where something is ignited or initiated.
Example: "The engineer explained that an ignition element is crucial for starting the engine efficiently."
Alternatives: "a spark component" or "a firing element".
This paper presents a new electrically heated ignition element, which gets integrated in a three dimensional macro-cellular SiSiC reactor structure.
It's indicated that the hot bridge-wire ignition element shows a quick response and can rapidly reach the maximum temperature for firing sequence under capacitor discharging.
To get a controlled temperature distribution on the ignition element it is necessary to control the current density distribution in the three-dimensional macro-cellular reactor structure.
First experiments show that the ignition element integrated in a combustion reactor exhibits high dynamics and can be heated to the temperatures much above 1000 °C in a very short time (approx. 800 ms) for current of I = 150 A.
The ignition element used is designed to be an electrical resistance in an electric current system, converting flowing current into heat with the goal to get the highest temperature in the ignition region (glow plug).
With each subsequent puff, the smoldering ignition element reignites the tobacco, the inventors write.
The test results show that the hot bridge-wire ignition element with zigzag shape can be fused the most easily at the same supplied voltage.
For the development of the ignition element it was assumed, that the element is made of the same material as the combustion reactor itself and is fully integrated within the three-dimensional macro-cellular structure of the combustion reactor.
Whether the hot bridge-wire ignition element is melted or not can be used to estimate qualitatively whether its maximum temperature reaches the nickel film melting point or not.
They were simulated and optimized using commercial COMSOL software and a finite element (FE) model of the hot bridge-wire ignition elements with different lengths, widths and shapes was set up.
