Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016075357A1] Invention relates to an ignition assembly configured to ignite a combustible fuel mixture in a combustion chamber of an internal combustion piston engine, comprising a prechamber assembly (14) adapted for attachment in an opening of a cylinder head (10), the prechamber assembly has at least one orifice (18) to provide a flow communication between the prechamber and the combustion chamber of the engine (100), the ignition assembly further comprising a pulsed plasma plug assembly having at least one electrode in communication with the prechamber space and adapted to generate a plurality of plasma streamers between at least two electrodes, and a control unit provided with executable instructions to activate the pulsed plasma plug assembly in order to generate pulses. It is characteristic to the invention that the control unit (62) is provided with pulse information for setting variables of a train of pulses used during each ignition when activating the pulsed plasma plug assembly, and the control unit is further provided with executable instructions to activate the pulsed plasma plug assembly using the pulse information to generate the pulses.
