2.6 IGNITION UNIT – HV19-PVC VALVE CONSOLE
The ignition unit – valve console is a device which per-
forms a double function:
- it provides the high frequency-high voltage (14 kV) im-
pulse needed to trigger the electric arc inside the torch,
between electrode and nozzle;
- it manages the exchange of gas in the ignition-trans-
fer passages and switch-off. It contains solenoid valves,
check valves, pressure reducers.
It complies with IEC 60974-3 standard.
It is generally used in robotized plants.
When the cover is opened, this causes the system to
come to a standstill.
