Bosch Celebrates 100 Years of Glow Plugs

1922-2022

Summary

The invention of the glow plug paved the way for Bosch to become a globally successful developer and automotive supplier. This product strongly influenced progress in vehicle engine development – the year 2022 marks the glow plug’s 100th anniversary.

Over the last 100 years, Bosch glow plugs have been continuously adapted to the changing requirements of diesel engines and have become increasingly powerful. They are now offered for almost every diesel vehicle.

Glow Plugs Function

Much more than just a starting aid: Modern glow plugs do not only preheat the engine during the start-up, they also post-glow. This means they remain active although the engine is already running. In this manner, they ensure efficient and fuel-economic engine operation even in stop-and-go or city traffic.

The anniversary of pioneering technical achievements

Starting systems

Starting systems are used for diesel vehicles with max. 1 cubic liter capacity per cylinder. These systems increase the temperature inside the combustion chamber. For a reliable cold start, glow plug temperatures of at least 850 °C (1500° F) are required – closely related to the engine design and condition as well as to the ambient temperatures.

Post glow

Innovative diesel engines feature a lower compression. As a result, the diesel/air mixture does not ignite itself anymore in case of a cold engine. A post glow system is thus required. It remains active even though the engine is already running – for comfortable and fuel-efficient engine operation e.g. in city or stop-and-go traffic.

Regeneration of particle filters

Diesel particle filters separate soot particles from exhaust gases. In order to prevent them from clogging the filter, separated soot particles are to be burnt periodically. This procedure is supported by modern glow systems heating up the filter by means of regeneration glowing.

Watch out! Listen up!

Different failures can be indicators for defective glow plugs:

• Increased smoke generation in case of cold starts
• Loud combustion noises before reaching the operating temperature
• Unevenly running warm engine
• Loss of power

Replace the whole set at once

 

Glow plugs usually get worn in quick succession. Experience has shown that replacing the whole set of glow plugs is cheaper than having to replace them one by one and one after another. The reason: Connection lines and conductor bars have to be removed for each replacement. These tasks consume a lot of time.

Denoxtronic from Bosch

Summary

Since the production of the first diesel truck in 1924, and the first diesel car in 1936, Bosch has been one of the world’s leading providers of diesel technology. The exhaust-gas treatment and dosing system, Denoxtronic, is being used in a larger number of diesel vehicles than ever before. Therefore, it is growing in importance, and thus, potential for the workshop. The system works by injecting an aqueous urea solution known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF/AdBlue) into the exhaust stream and, in combination with the SCR catalytic converter, converts harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) into water and nitrogen.

Bosch know-how and growing demand

Section 1 Body

The most common version of Denoxtronic systems in North America is 3.1 and 2.2. For cars and light commercial vehicles, 3.1 has been available since 2008 and 2.2 for heavy commercial since 2009. Today, Bosch Denoxtronic systems are built into vehicles around the world. An increasing number of vehicle manufacturers are using the Bosch system to ensure that diesel vehicles are compliant with emission limits. Many vehicles with Denoxtronic systems have high mileage. As a result, the demand for services and cost-effective maintenance work is increasing.
