A glow plug is essentially an electrical heating
element installed within the combustion
space. By elevating the temperature of the
air within the combustion chamber the glow
plug promotes easier cold starting, improved
driving performance from cold and a significant
reduction of unwanted emissions. Unlike a
spark plug a glow plug usually works for a
short period of time upon starting the engine
however more stringent emission regulations
often require significantly longer periods of
operation.
Diesel engines have evolved considerably over
recent years and so has glow plug design. This
means that we now stock around 150 different
part numbers with several major design
differences. Although performance criteria
differ greatly they are all manufactured to the
same demanding standards.
