> A performance breakthrough from BOSCH - The benefits of SUPER 4
Increased Acceleration:
Air-fuel mixture deposits occur in driving
primarily during heavy acceleration. The Super-4 spark plug from Bosch
with increased ignition reliability prevents misfiring and therefore
guarantees improved acceleration. In a trial, acceleration from 19 to 75
mph in third or fourth gear resulted in 0.4 s gain in each case. The
acceleration distance decreased by five meters, providing driver and
passengers with improved safety during overtaking.
Less chance of misfiring:
Bosch 'surface-air gap' technology ensures a
more even wear of the electrodes. This, in turn, leads to a more
reliable spark. Since the probability of a spark choosing one of the
eight possible paths is equal, wear on the ground electrodes is
distributed evenly over all four electrodes.
Better cold starting performance:
Thanks to the improved
low-temperature behaviour and self-cleaning feature, up to three times
as many cold starts are possible than with conventional spark plugs.
Environmental protection and protection for the catalytic converter The
improved cold start behaviour and increased ignition reliability even in
the warm-up phase increases fuel combustion and thus reduces
HC-emissions. This also has the effect of extending the service life of
the catalytic converter.
Greater Spark Power:
The spark in the Super 4 loses less power
than the spark in a conventional spark plug due to the four thin ground
electrodes (less resistance). Spark plug efficiency therefore increases
because the air/fuel mixture has up to 40% more power available for
every ignition. |
