Glow Plug Heater

Power:54-65W

A glow plug heater, also known simply as a glow plug, is a crucial component in diesel engines and diesel-fueled heating systems. Its primary function is to preheat the air in the combustion chamber before starting the engine or heater. This preheating process ensures that the diesel fuel ignites efficiently, particularly in cold weather conditions where the air temperature may be too low for spontaneous ignition.

Function of Glow Plug Heater

Preheating the Combustion Chamber: The glow plug heater heats up when the ignition is activated, warming the air within the combustion chamber.

Aiding Cold Starts: In diesel engines, especially in colder climates, the initial air temperature may not be sufficient to ignite the fuel without assistance. The glow plug heater raises the air temperature to facilitate combustion.

Ignition Assistance: Once the air reaches a sufficient temperature, it aids in igniting the diesel fuel injected into the combustion chamber.
