Steel Glow Plugs

Car manufacturers worldwide are opting for the innovative three-phase glow technology making the starting operation quick, reliable and green. The BorgWarner 3-phase glow plugs are available in both the GE and GN type.

Description of 3-Phase Technology:

• Phase 1: Pre-heating initiated when ignition starts
• Phase 2: Heating during starting
• Phase 3: Post-heating - the glow plugs continue to be heated for approx. 3 minutes after the engine is started

Advantages of 3-Phase Technology:

• Diesel fuel burnt more fully and with less noise
• Clouding of the exhaust gas is reduced by up to 40%

GE and GN glow plugs in 2-coil technology are fitted with a heating coil designed to maintain the optimal heating temperature and a regulator coil that effectively protects the glow plug from overheating, thereby making these BorgWarner diesel car glow plugs reliable and durable.

GE glow plugs are performance-optimized. They are the controlled glow plug used in engines of the latest generations, featuring a programmable microcontroller in the glow time control unit to flawlessly control the starting operation.

The BorgWarner Glow Plug range types GE & GN features:

• Quick start glow plugs in new, slim shape
• Short preheating time of approx. 2 to 7 seconds
• Reliable starting (even at -30 °C!)
• Can be used for post-heating, as a result environmentally friendly: up to 40% less pollutant emissions during the warm up phase
• No more cold start knocking
• Quiet engine running
• Protects the engine during starting

BorgWarner engineers and manufactures quality, dependable car glow plugs for older generation diesel engine with one goal in mind: meet the pre-heating and heating performance requirements of older diesel engines. 

The BorgWarner Diesel Engine car Glow Plug (type GV) features:
