Glow plug, auxiliary heater

The glow plug for the auxiliary heater is a central component in the heating system of many vehicles and ensures that the auxiliary heater can be started reliably. It is mainly used in diesel-powered auxiliary heaters to ignite the fuel-air mixture.

When the auxiliary heater is switched on, the glow plug heats up to a very high temperature within a short time. This heat ignites the injected fuel, thus starting the combustion process in the heater. The auxiliary heater then generates heat, which is distributed into the vehicle interior via the cooling system or the ventilation system.

Glow plugs for auxiliary heaters are made of heat-resistant materials and are designed for extreme temperatures and frequent start cycles. They must operate reliably to ensure the auxiliary heater starts safely even at low outside temperatures.

Wear and tear or defects in the glow plug can cause the auxiliary heater to fail to start or to operate irregularly. Timely replacement ensures that the heating system continues to function reliably.
