The presence of methanol vapor causes the glow plug found in model engines to heat via a catalytic reaction with the platinum wire and glow.
32.
If the engine backfires when it is hand-cranked, it is operating too hot and the glow plug temperature or " nitro " content should be lowered.
33.
They provided slave labour for Bosch, which made spark plugs, ignition systems and glow plugs, which were important to the German war effort, under brutal conditions.
34.
The sensors are either directly mounted into additional holes into the cylinder head or the spark / glow plug is equipped with a built-in miniature piezoelectric sensor.
35.
A "'glow plug engine "', or "'glow engine "', is a type of catalytic effect of the platinum within the glow plug on the methanol within the fuel.
36.
In the case of in-cylinder, there is a plug in every cylinder indirect injected, the glow plug is in the prechamber providing a hot spot to encourage ignition.
37.
A "'glow plug engine "', or "'glow engine "', is a type of catalytic effect of the platinum within the glow plug on the methanol within the fuel.
38.
In compression-ignition engines, glow plugs ( combustion chamber pre-warmers ) may be used to aid starting in cold weather, or when the engine uses a lower compression-ratio, or both.
39.
The methanol-fueled two-cycle glow plug engines used for aeromodelling, since their adoption by model airplane hobbyists in the 1940s, have used varying percentages of castor oil as a lubricant.
40.
Model engine glow plugs are also used as re-usable igniters in theatrical pyrotechnics and the special effects industry to remotely ignite pyrotechnic devices using flash and smoke composition powders.
