GENESIS GLOW PLUGS
Diesel engines produce the highest amount of pollution during the first few minutes after starting. If the glow plugs stay on during this short time , the temperature into the pre-chamber, or the combustion chamber of a direct injection engine , remains at about 1.000 degrees celcius allowing a better ignition and reducing the emission of polluting gasses by about 30-40%.
The 'GENESIS' range of glow plugs we carry, has been developed to uniform to the EEC directive and according to the parameters of the engines manufacturers for a quick pre-heating (4 to 7 sec) and post-heating time ( up to 180 sec. after starting at an average of 14v) As a result, from an application point of view, this new generation of glow plugs, that we call GENESIS, can substitute all the older STANDARD models having the same dimension and without the post-heating phase.
All glow plugs will be marked with the original rated voltage, while GENESIS can be marked with the battery voltage ( i.e 12V or 24V) when their characteristics allow the replacement of more than one standard reference.
In Japanese engines the relays carry out a dual purpose:
>> 'Open' so to permit the pre-heating at the battery forward voltage (12V OR 24V)
>> 'Pilot' during post-heating by means of the automatic insertion of a resistance that, after starting, reduces the current to the voltage marked on the glow plug.
In these circumstances the indication of the voltage on the glow plug does not imply a specific feature of the glow plug itself but the voltage the relay forwards during the post-heating to hold the temperature at 900/1000 degrees celcius for a period of about 15 seconds.
