Abstract
To investigate the ignition characteristics of an axial-flow injection burner for a Stirling engine, a combustion chamber was designed. Diesel was used as fuel and oxygen as oxidant. The experiments of ignition characteristics were carried out with an electric plug igniter. The ignition characteristics under different combustion chamber pressure, pre-oxygen supply time, oxygen supply flow and ignition position were studied. The experimental results show that, with the increase of the pressure, the ignition time of the burner increases gradually, and the ignition success rate decreases gradually. The oxygen flow rate is related to ignition time in a certain range, while the pre-oxygen supply time has little effect. With the ignition position moving downward, the ignition time decreases gradually.
