  2. Glow plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug

    Glowplugs are typically used as starting-aid devices, when the engine is being cranked by a starter motor, and in most cases switched off when the engine has reached a defined minimum operating temperature. Diesel engines, unlike common spark-ignition engines, do not use spark plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture. Instead, they rely solely on ...

  3. Glow plug (model engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug_(model_engine)

    The glow plugs used in model engines are significantly different from those used in full-size diesel engines. In full-size engines, the glow plug is used only for starting. In model engines, the glow plug is an integral part of the ignition system because of the catalytic effect of the platinum wire. The glow plug is a durable, mostly platinum ...

  4. Cold start (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_start_(automotive)

    Diesel engines make use of glow plugs to heat the combustion chamber prior to ignition, improving the conditions inside the engine, while certain manufacturers have incorporated a block heater, which heats the engine block prior to ignition to reduce the problem of cold starting.

    The UVCH (under valve cover harness) was prone to losing contact with either glow plugs or injectors which caused rough starts or a misfire depending on the year. 1994–1997 engines have two connectors going into each bank, whereas 1999–2003 engines had one connector going into each bank; troubleshooting the harness was easier for the 1994 ...

    Engines were equipped with series wired loop type glow plugs up until 1980 when replaced by the much more reliable pencil type plugs (these had been already used in the OM617A since 1978). Vehicles sold to the North American market had exhaust gas recirculation equipment fitted. OM617.910. Canister style oil filter at bottom front of engine.

    The pump is lubricated by a connection to the engine oil circulation and the fuel lift pump is mounted on the side of the injection pump. Preheating is by glow plugs with automatic control of preheating time. The 603 engine had a diesel particulate filter, or trap oxidizer, in the US market.

  8. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

    1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

  9. Diesel cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_cycle

    Many model airplanes use very simple "glow" and "diesel" engines. Glow engines use glow plugs. "Diesel" model airplane engines have variable compression ratios. Both types depend on special fuels. Some 19th-century or earlier experimental engines used external flames, exposed by valves, for ignition, but this becomes less attractive with ...
