| -Frequently Asked Questions- | |
What is the difference between Long Post Heating (LPH) and New Long Post Heating (NLPH) glow plugs? An NLPH glow plug uses less current to reach a higher temperature quickly. This means less pollution, better efficiency and reduced fuel consumption. What is the difference between a metallic and ceramic glow plug? A ceramic glow plug has a probe made from high performance ceramics instead of a metallic sheath. Ceramic glow plugs can reach temperatures 100°C higher than metallic plugs. Why replace the glow plugs? The service life of a glow plug can vary depending upon the frequency of use and the climatic conditions. As the glow plugs wear out, starting the engine can become more difficult and emissions may increase. In some conditions the engine may not start at all. To prevent this happening it is better to replace the glow plugs at set intervals. Is it possible to replace just one or two plugs at a time? This is not recommended. When one plug has reached the end of its service life the other plugs will be in a similar condition and will shortly need to be replaced also. It is more cost effective to replace all the plugs at once whilst the power rails and connection lines are already removed. Why is it so important to tighten glow plugs to the correct torque value? Excessive tightening can damage the plug, e.g. causing the shell to collapse and preventing the regulating coil from working properly. To avoid problems it is recommended to always use a torque wrench when replacing glow plugs. What do the markings on the glow plug mean? The glow plugs are embossed with the word Champion, the part number eg. CH200, a date code and the voltage. Why is the voltage stencilled on the plug different to the electric system of the car? On the glow plug is stencilled the 'nominal voltage'. This is a conventional fixed voltage given by the technical designers and corresponds with the voltage during pre-heating, at which the plug will start. The supplied voltage after start up may be higher. The voltage supplied by the vehicle batteries can also be different for the same application, depending on the conditions of the battery and cables and can also be determined by a control system that will reduce the value. |
