光电式电子点火系是应用光电效应原理,藉红外线光束触发的无触点晶体点火系。这一新的点火系是由英国伦敦鲁明兴(Lumenition)公司设计制成的并获得了专利。(下简称光电点火系)据报导,该项点火系的另一种“美国化”的型式也已由TRW公司开始生产和经售。鲁明兴公司的研制工作开始于1960年。近二、三年来英国已有一万多台这种装置投入使用。其中多数装置的工作里程已超过15万英哩。其间只是清洁一下火花塞, Photoelectric electronic ignition system is the application of the principle of photoelectric effect, by the infrared beam triggered by the non-contact crystal ignition system. The new ignition system was designed and patented by Lumenition, London, UK. (Hereinafter referred to as photoelectric ignition system) It has also been reported that another “Americanized” version of the ignition system has also been produced and sold by TRW Corporation. Lu Mingxing company’s research and development began in 1960. Over the past two or three years, more than 10,000 such devices have been put into use in Britain. Most of these devices have more than 150,000 miles of miles. During which only to clean the spark plug,
