Glow plugs come in various voltage ratings, with 12V being one of the most common for automotive applications. Here’s a detailed overview of 12V glow plugs, including their function, types, and considerations for replacement:
Overview of 12V Glow Plugs
Function
Preheating: Glow plugs preheat the air in the combustion chamber of a diesel engine to facilitate starting, especially in cold conditions.
Combustion Aid: They ensure efficient combustion during the initial start-up phase until the engine reaches its operating temperature.
Types of 12V Glow Plugs
Metal Glow Plugs: Made from metal alloys, these are the traditional type and are durable and cost-effective.
Ceramic Glow Plugs: Made from ceramic materials, these heat up faster and can withstand higher temperatures, providing more efficient starting and better performance in cold weather.
