Abstract
Experimental attempts of ignition of sensitive explosive atmospheres by continuous positive corona discharges in coaxial electrode system were conducted in laboratory conditions. Sixty five explosions of hydrogen (H2) and forty of carbon disulphide (CS2) were forced. Both atmospheres were ignited by the minimum power 1e2 W, the minimum ignition current 100e130 mA at the ignition voltages 12e30 kV (for CS2) and 16.5e25 kV (H2). To prevent the energetic sparks, the high voltage resistor 1 MU was introduced in series with corona wire. 2013 The Author. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
