Abstract :
Ignition energy is an important parameter of engine ignition system, because it directly influences the power performance, fuel economy and emission performance of vehicles. According to the working principle of ignition coils, a novel simulation model is proposed based on electric circuit analysis and magnetic circuit analysis. The model is applied to calculate ignition current, spark time and ignition energy. Compared with measured value, the relative errors of simulation results are less than 10%. That verifies the validity and rationality of the model. The proposed model provides an effective method to analyze the effect of technological parameters, such as coil turns, wire diameter and material of iron core. The model is of practical significance for the development of ignition coils.
