From the worlds No.1 spark plug manufacturer you’d expect nothing but the best from their glow plugs too; and you’d be right. NGK have been relentlessly developing engine pre-heating technology since the early 1960s and the inbuilt advanced technology ensures that automotive engineers can get the most out of their engine designs and help them meet the increasing emission targets necessary to improve our environment.
Diesel engines do not use a spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture instead they rely on the heat generated by greatly compressing the air within the cylinder and then injecting diesel fuel at the appropriate time which burns spontaneously. When the engine is cold it is considerably more difficult to get the air/fuel mixture to burn and to achieve stable combustion therefore a method of adding heat energy to the mixture is usually required.
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.
We are dedicated to ensuring the highest possible quality service to our customers.
