Ignition Time

Ignition time is the moment when a fuel mixture reaches its temperature and conditions necessary to start burning in an engine or combustion system. It marks the beginning of the combustion process, where the fuel-air mixture transitions from a state of readiness to active flame. This timing is crucial in engines and combustion devices because it affects power output, efficiency, and emissions. Precise control of ignition time ensures optimal engine performance and safety, with advanced systems often automatically adjusting it based on operating conditions for best results.
