Piezo ignition

Piezo Ignition

Piezo ignition is a method of igniting gas without using matches or a lighter. This system is commonly found in high-quality lighters and outdoor stoves, providing quick and reliable ignition even in challenging conditions.

How Piezo Ignition Works

Piezo ignition is based on the piezoelectric effect. When a button is pressed, a small crystal (usually ceramic) is compressed, generating an electrical voltage. This voltage produces a spark near the burner, which then ignites the gas.

Advantages of Piezo Ignition

• No need for external flame sources (matches, lighter)
• Resistant to moisture and wind
• Fast and easy to use
• Highly reliable in outdoor environments

Applications

• Gas outdoor stoves
• Butane lighters
• Grills, heaters, and other gas-powered devices
