Abstract :
IMPROPER PERFORMANCE of gun-type oil burners operating with from 5 to 15 gallons of oil per hour led to an investigation that pointed to ignition delay as the cause of malfunctioning. The delay referred to is the time interval occurring between application of voltage to the ignition transformer primary and the initiation of the spark discharge in the spark gap.
