Abstract (en)

A dual current control coil glow plug (10) for warming up Diesel engines. The glow plug comprises a metal body (11) from which a tubular metal sheath (13) extends, the sheath containing a heating element comprising a dual coil (14,16) electric resistance embedded in a compacted powder of an electrically insulating and thermally conductive material; the two coils (14,16) of the heating element are made with wires of the same material having a high positive temperature coefficient so as to provide a dual differentiated control of the current absorbed during the warm-up and post-heating phases, while maintaining warm-up times and temperatures at optimal values. <IMAGE>
