Electronic Spark Ignition (ESI)

The ESI ignition system provides rapid, reliable ignition and more importantly, instantaneous re-ignition if the pilot should ever lose its flame. This ignition system uses a fuel gas line much like other ignition systems, however, instead of a flame front generator it utilizes the "Excitor" which produces a high voltage spark directly in the pilot nozzle. This cutting edge innovation originated in the aerospace industry.
