A piezo is just a manual, mechanical type of module. In order to work as an ignition the piezo module will need to be wired to an electrode which will spark when the piezo module is pressed or cranked. An ignition system is an assembly of parts and the piezo is like a spark generator for an ignition that does not use batteries or electricity. Pressing or turning the piezo module will send electricity to the electrode which should be mounted where gas emits from the burner so the electrode sparking will ignite gas as the gas leaves the burner.

What spark temperature must the piezo produce to ignite the pilot light on a natural gas fireplace?

Natural gas is Methane. It has an autoignition temperature of 580 C or 1076 F. So a piezo must produce a spark temperature greater than 580 C or 1076 F.


What is a sentence for the word ignite?

In the cannons of pirate ships, a flame at the breech would ignite the powder charge. Concentrating the sun's rays with a lens is one way to ignite a daytime campfire. Accumulated creosote from wood can ignite inside a fireplace chimney.


If a gas fireplace is on and the electricity goes out will the fireplace continue to work?

It really all depends on the type of Fireplace you have. Fireplaces usually run on a pilot with a thermocouple or thermopile. These produce their own milivolts to run the gas valve. These type of fireplaces do not need power to ignite. If the fireplace's on/off switch is a remote that runs off of batteries or is a switch on the faceplate of the fireplace, then this fireplace should work with no power. Most fireplaces have a blower that circulates the warm air it generates. This fan would be running on 120v from the street and would not work when the power goes out. You may still have a flame on, but all the heat it generates is going out the stack. Other fireplaces have no fan and are mainly for looks. You may have a fireplace that is dependent on the 120volts and will do nothing. Check the operation manual on your fireplace.

How does piezo injector work?

There are several piezo crystals in the injector in order to achieve the required needle or valve lift. When an electric current is applied piezo crystals, they expand or contract. Since piezo elements are lighter, they respond quicker. This lets the injector valve switch five times more quickly to meter the fuel and control the injection curve more precisely.
