  2. Glow plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug

    Glow plugs are used to help overcome this issue by introducing additional heat energy into the combustion chambers. [1] A glowplug resembles a short metal pencil. The heating element is fitted into its tip. Glowplug filaments must be made of certain materials, such as platinum and iridium, that resist oxidation and withstand high temperature ...

  3. Oil sludge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_sludge

    Oil sludge or black sludge is a gel-like or semi-solid deposit inside an internal combustion engine, that can create a catastrophic buildup.

  4. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

    A lean fuel mixture or excessive amount of oxygen in the combustion chamber; An engine that is running hotter than normal due to a cooling system problem (low coolant level, slipping fan clutch, inoperative electric cooling fan or other cooling system problem) Auto-ignition of engine oil droplets (Can be solved by using an oil catch tank) [3]

  5. Oil burner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

    Some oil burners use glow bars which operate much like the glow plugs of a diesel engine. Many use high voltage to create a spark for ignition, somewhat similar to a spark plug. In the past, transformers were used to generate the high voltage. In the mid-90s, electronic igniters were introduced, solving many problems related to the old style ...

  6. Glow plug (model engine) - Wikipedia

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

    A glow plug engine, or glow engine, is a type of small internal combustion engine [1] typically used in model aircraft, model cars and similar applications. The ignition is accomplished by a combination of heating from compression, heating from a glow plug and the catalytic effect of the platinum within the glow plug on the methanol within the ...

  7. Gas flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_flare

    Flare stack at the Shell Haven refinery in England. A gas flare, alternatively known as a flare stack, flare boom, ground flare, or flare pit, is a gas combustion device used in places such as petroleum refineries, chemical plants and natural gas processing plants, oil or gas extraction sites having oil wells, gas wells, offshore oil and gas rigs and landfills.

  8. Glow fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_fuel

    Glow fuel is a fuel source used in model engines – generally the same or similar fuels can be used in model airplanes, helicopters, cars and boats. [1] Glow fuel can be burned by very simple two-stroke engines or by more complicated four-stroke engines, and these engines can provide impressive amounts of power for their very small size.

  9. Cox model engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_model_engine

    The engine has an additional fin on the larger glow plug which dissipates heat better allowing the engine to swing a larger propeller. i.e. 7 or 8 inches. This engine has a red 8cc fuel tank and a black crankcase. Original 1989 engines did not come out with 5 fin glow plug. The 5-fin glow plug came later in the 1992 Catalog.
