Champion Integrated
Pressure Sensor Glow Plug

By installing pressure sensor glow plugs higher peak pressures
can be implemented in today’s smaller engines, standard and
future combustion processes can be pushed even further to their
limits, and constantly stable emissions control can be obtained
throughout the engine’s entire service life. In each cylinder, the
pressure sensor plug measures the rapidly changing pressure
in the combustion chamber during each combustion cycle and
transmits this information continuously to the engine control
electronics.
The engine can be operated within the optimum window between
maximum power and minimum exhaust gases.

• C ombustion noise can be reduced.
• E nables constant stability of the combustion process.
• E ffective compensation for injector ageing.

Champion Ceramic Glow Plug

The hardness and strength of the materials used for the
plugs, withstand temperatures up to 1,100 °C. The short
heat-up times, at the tip of the ceramic element, require
less energy to generate the proper temperature to start the
engine. That also means it needs less fuel.

Instant Start System

Instant reliability at the turn of a key
The Instant Start System for diesel engines with direct
injection combines an electronic control unit and optimized
glow plugs to reach temperatures up to 1,100 °C in 1 to 2
seconds. Even in temperatures as low as -25 °C. The usual
glow plug needs about 5 seconds. Each glow plug can be
controlled by a separate power semiconductor within the
system. This allows separate monitoring of the current and
individual diagnostics.
