Stand alone ignition devices
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6458445
Besides restoring traditional independence from outside power sources, stand-alone ignition devices for domestic gas appliances would reduce maintenance and installation costs. A comprehensive literature survey, along with a manufacturer evaluation, identified both new and state-of-the-art concepts for stand-alone systems. The survey's objective criteria included overall feasibility, applicability, reliability, cost/benefit ratio, environmental impact, and safety. The evaluation determined the best short-term possibility to be a spark-ignition system powered by standard replaceable batteries and utilizing a thermomechanical, fully automatic gas valve. The study recommended further market-oriented commercialization research.
