An igniter assembly for an aircraft fuel spill simulator comprising:
- a reservoir to receive a volume of dispersion medium on the surface of which fuel burns;
- an igniter unit located within the reservoir comprising
- a closed end cylinder positioned at an angle of from about 15 to 80 degrees from the horizontal having a top end wall and a peripheral wall;
- an igniter sparkplug without an air gap;
- a hole located in the top end wall of the closed end cylinder for receiving the igniter sparkplug;
- a fuel line having an orifice element with a plurality of outlet holes disposed near the igniter spark plug to allow a spray of fuel towards the igniter sparkplug;
- and
- an air line having an outlet orifice disposed adjacent to the igniter sparkplug for allowing the blowing of air on the outlet orifice to keep extinguishment clear of the area of ignition and control the fuel-air mixture.
