Abstract

Zur möglichst effektiven Einkopplung von Energie in einen mit einem bestimmten Medium gefüllten Raum, insbesondere zur Entzündung eines in dem Brennraum (1) eines Verbrennungsmotors befindlichen Luft-Kraftstoff-Gemisches, wird die Verwendung einer vorzugsweise in Form einer Zündkerze ausgebildeten Anordnung (8) vorgeschlagen, welche zur Energieeinkopplung eine Elektrode (9) aufweist, die an ihrem in den Raum (1) hineinragenden Ende mehrere länglich ausgebildete Elektrodenabschnitte (10) umfasst, um somit bei Betreiben mit Hochfrequenzenergie mehrere verteilt auftretende Entladungen zur großvolumigen Entzündung des in dem Brennraum (1) befindlichen Luft-Kraftstoff-Gemisches zu erzeugen.

Figure 00000001
For the most effective coupling of energy into a space filled with a specific medium, in particular for igniting an air-fuel mixture located in the combustion chamber (1) of an internal combustion engine, the use of an arrangement (8), preferably in the form of a spark plug, is proposed. Which has an electrode (9) for the coupling of energy, which at its end protruding into the space (1) comprises a plurality of elongated electrode sections (10) so that when operating with high-frequency energy, a plurality of distributed discharges for large-volume ignition of the in the combustion space (1) generate air-fuel mixture.
