What is the function of the glow plug?

The glow plug is one of the essential parts in the car engine. It plays a very important role in the engine. Do you know what its function is?

Function of Glow Plugs: Glow plugs are used in diesel engines to help facilitate ignition during cold starts. When the engine is cold, the air and fuel mixture may not ignite easily due to the lower temperature. Glow plugs work by heating up to high temperatures, which in turn warms up the combustion chamber and helps ignite the air-fuel mixture.

Engines Where Glow Plugs Are Used: Glow plugs are generally used in diesel engines, such as those found in cars, trucks, buses, agricultural vehicles, and construction equipment. These engines rely on compression ignition, rather than spark ignition like gasoline engines, making glow plugs essential for starting in cold weather conditions.

Difference Between Spark Plugs and Glow Plugs: Spark plugs are used in gasoline engines and create a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture, whereas glow plugs are used in diesel engines and rely on the heat generated to ignite the mixture. Spark plugs function by producing an electric spark at the tip of the plug, while glow plugs heat up to high temperatures to generate the necessary heat for ignition.

Advantages of 1D Company’s Glow Plugs:
