Abstract
Simultaneous ignition of a multi-burner compact steam generator is accomplished through use of a pilot flame that is established in each of the individual burner elements. A hot gas ignition source is generated in a preburner plenum chamber by sparking a fuel/oxidizer mixture. A combustion wave resulting from gases generated within the plenum is distributed to each of the individual main burners through a multiplicity of conduits to ignite a pilot fuel source which is independently fed into each of the burner elements thus providing a pilot flame for subsequent main stage ignition.
