CONFORMS TO GREENABILITY STANDARD
Altronic – the Ignition AuthorityAltronic LLC is the world leader in theproduction of industrial ignition systems,engine controls and digital instruments.The lead plant for HOERBIGER Engine Solutions,Altronic produces ignition systemsfor spark-ignited, natural gas engines, digitalinstruments and controls for heavy dutyrotating equipment, and custom controlpanels for the oil and gas industry. Ignitionsystem production began in 1966 with theAltronic I for one-cylinder oil pumpjack engines.The ignition line was later extendedto four variations covering all stationaryengines from 10 to 10,000 horsepower.The Altronic digital instrument line beganin the late 1970’s with the industry’s firstdigital annunciator, which replaced up to32 electromechanical relays as indicatorsof alarms on gas compressors. This linenow includes tachometers, hourmeters,pyrometers, and microprocessor-basedinstruments for monitoring pressures,temperatures, speed, vibration, and ignitiontiming.In the mid-1980’s, Altronic introducedignition systems based on digital circuits.These provided greater timing accuracy,the ability to change ignition timing electronically,and useful diagnostic informationfor the engine operator. Today, Altronicdigital ignition systems are used by mostmajor OEM gas engine manufacturers.Altronic is pioneering the next leap intechnology for the stationary industrialengine market with the Directed EnergyIgnition System (DEIS). The DEIS allowscomplete control over the spark characteristicsincluding duration and energy,and provides the ability to control thesecondary current profile. As a result, thesecondary can be optimized to the fueland mixture quality, combustion chamberdesign, load profile, etc. There is trulynothing else like it available anywhere,further demonstrating that Altronic is theleader in design innovation.Altronic also produces a variety of ignitionaccessory items including FLASHGUARD ®industrial spark plugs and spark plugleads, and the EZRail ® Modular IgnitionRail System.Since 2002, Altronic has manufacturedthe patented GTI Bi-Fuel ® System whichconverts a standard diesel engine to operateon up to 70% natural gas or bio-gas,thereby reducing operating costs, extendingrun-time on stored diesel fuel, andreducing diesel emissions.SOLID-STATE IGNITIONCAPACITOR-DISCHARGEIGNITIONDIGITAL ANNUNCIATORTHESE SAMPLEWAVEFORMSILLUSTRATE THETYPE OF SPARKCONTROL POSSIBLEUSING THEDIRECTED ENERGYIGNITION SYSTEM
