Glow Plug
|
A QGS sheathed glow plug heats up extremely quickly. However, a special QGS control device is needed. There are two different, non-interchangeable types of quick-start glow plugs. The first type has one heating coil with a low resistance which is designed for an extremely high current flow. The second type has both a heating and a control coil. This guarantees that the resistance increases with temperature and therefore provides a certain degree of temperature control. These glow plugs have very short preheating times and improve the cold start performance. Safety information: If the voltage is generated for too long and the temperature is too high, the glow plugs can melt and crack. Therefore the control device or relay must either reduce or completely switch off the current flow as soon as a temperature of about 900°C is reached. |
