Tuletusmootorit

Tuletusmootorit are a type of ignition device used primarily in small to medium-sized internal combustion engines, such as those found in chainsaws, leaf blowers, and small motorcycles. The term "tuletusmootor" originates from Finnish, where "tuletus" means ignition or firing, and "mootor" refers to engine. These ignition systems are essential for initiating combustion by providing a high-voltage electrical spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture within the engine's cylinder.

Typically, tuletusmootorit consist of a coil, a spark plug, and control circuitry. When the engine is started, the system generates a high-voltage pulse through electromagnetic induction in the coil. This voltage is delivered to the spark plug, creating a spark that ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture. Modern tuletusmootorit often incorporate electronic ignition modules for improved reliability and performance, replacing traditional contact points.

There are various types of tuletusmootorit, including contact and contactless (digital) systems. Contact systems use mechanical points that periodically open and close to generate sparks, while contactless systems rely on digital semiconductors to produce more consistent sparks with less maintenance.

Tuletusmootorit are designed to be compact, lightweight, and durable, suited for portable tools and small engines. Proper maintenance, such as ensuring clean spark plugs and functional ignition coils, is crucial for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Overall, tuletusmootorit play a vital role in the operation of many small combustion engines, with ongoing advancements aimed at increasing efficiency, reducing emissions, and enhancing durability.
