Ignition units
Danfoss ignitor units are high performance ignition components designed to ensure reliable and efficient startup of oil burners across domestic, commercial, and light industrial applications. Built to deliver strong, consistent ignition - even under challenging conditions such as low ambient temperatures - the Danfoss EBI4 series represents the latest generation of advanced ignition technology. These units provide increased ignition power, improved energy efficiency, and robust durability, making them a trusted choice for modern burner systems. Engineered and manufactured in Denmark to stringent quality standards, Danfoss ignitor units serve as critical components in combustion systems, delivering stable high-voltage output for dependable burner ignition. They are available in multiple configurations tailored to oil systems and comply with key industry regulations including RoHS, WEEE, and EMC standards. Known for their high ignition performance, reduced soot buildup, and strong protection against thermal overload, Danfoss ignitors help extend burner lifetime while improving fuel efficiency.Widely adopted across the heating industry, Danfoss ignitor units are also valued for their compatibility with a broad range of burner types, ease of installation, and integration with digital tools such as the Danfoss Installer App. This combination of performance, reliability, and smart support solutions makes Danfoss ignitor units a benchmark for modern, energy efficient ignition technology.
At low ambient temperatures it can be difficult to enable fast ignition of oil burners. As a solution we have created the EBI4, a series of high performance ignition units to increase ignition power in low temperatures.
The EBI4-series of ignition units fit a broad range of domestic burners and light commercial gas or oil burners and are setting new standards within modern ignition units for oil and gas burners, making them a very worthy successor of the very well-known Danfoss EBI series.
Complies with the RoHs and WEEE directives - EMC according to EN 55014-1 and EN 5514-2.
- High ignition performance under voltage.
- 4-10% less oil consumption due to reduced soot built-up.
- Highly robust against thermal overload.
