Description
Woodward 9904-041 Ignition System
Product Dimensions:
Woodward is a global leader in the design and manufacture of ignition systems for industrial gas engines. Their systems are specifically engineered to handle the high-performance demands of modern lean-burn engines, providing high energy and precise timing.
1. Product Overview
Woodward Ignition Systems (such as the IC-100, IC-92x series, and Pro-Act) consist of integrated components including Ignition Control Units (ICUs), Ignition Coils, and Harnesses. These systems utilize high-energy capacitive discharge (CD) technology to ensure reliable combustion of various fuels, including natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen blends.
2. Technical Parameters (Typical)
While specifications vary by specific model (e.g., IC-100 vs. IC-922), common parameters include:
| Parameter | Specification (Typical Range) |
| Input Voltage | 18–32 VDC |
| Output Energy | Adjustable (typically 100 mJ to 250+ mJ) |
| Number of Outputs | 2 to 20 outputs (depending on cylinder count) |
| Timing Accuracy | Global/Individual cylinder timing within $pm 0.1^circ$ |
| Communication | CANbus (CANopen or J1939), Modbus, or USB |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C |
| Diagnostics | Primary/Secondary open/short circuit detection |
3. Key Product Advantages
-
High Spark Energy: Delivers consistent high-voltage discharge to ignite lean-burn mixtures, which are notoriously difficult to combust.
-
Precise Timing Control: Allows for individual cylinder timing offsets to compensate for mechanical wear or fuel quality variations, improving overall efficiency.
-
Smart Diagnostics: Real-time monitoring of secondary voltage and spark duration helps predict spark plug wear and prevents engine misfires.
-
Durability: Built with industrial-grade enclosures that resist vibration, heat, and chemical exposure common in power plants and compression stations.
-
System Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Woodward’s larger control ecosystem (like the Great Plains or EGS series controllers).
4. Product Applications
Woodward ignition systems are found in diverse heavy-duty industrial environments:
-
Power Generation: Stationary gas engines providing prime or standby power.
-
Gas Compression: Engines used in pipelines and gas gathering.
-
Cogeneration (CHP): Combined heat and power units requiring high uptime.
-
Alternative Fuels: Specifically tuned for low-energy fuels like landfill gas, digester gas, and syngas.
5. Important Considerations (Usage & Maintenance)
-
Coil Matching: Always use Woodward-approved coils. Using non-specified coils can lead to impedance mismatching, which may damage the ICU or result in weak spark energy.
-
Grounding: Ensure a high-quality, low-impedance ground connection. Poor grounding is the #1 cause of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and logic errors in the control unit.
-
Harness Integrity: Keep high-voltage leads as short as possible and separated from low-voltage sensor wiring to prevent cross-talk.
-
Software Updates: Use the Woodward Toolkit service tool periodically to check for firmware updates and to monitor the health logs of the ignition system.
