Abstract (en)

The invention concerns a process for electrical feeding of a heat-engine glowplug, including a step (27) of heating of the glowplug, in which the glowplug is fed by an electrical feed power, characterised in that the heating step (27) is followed by a final step of controlled cooling of the glowplug, in the course of which the mean electrical feed power of the glowplug is decreasing until a zero value has been attained in accordance with a temporal profile (34) of monotonic decrease, starting from a value, the so-called final nominal mean power, such that the theoretical straight line passing through the point (35) of the temporal profile (34) corresponding to the final nominal mean power and the point (36) of the temporal profile (34) corresponding to the zero value exhibits a slope amounting to between -150W/s and -0.1W/s.
