The glow plug serves what purpose?

The tractor glow plug is a component used in diesel engines of tractors to facilitate easier starting in cold weather. Diesel engines operate by compressing air and injecting fuel through compression. However, in cold weather, when the air is compressed, the combustion chamber may not reach a sufficiently high temperature, making it difficult to ignite the fuel.

This is where the tractor glow plug comes into play. The glow plug is installed inside the cylinders and provides an electric current to heat the plugs when the engine is cold. As a result, the air in the combustion chamber heats up more, allowing the fuel to ignite more easily. Consequently, the engine starts more easily in cold weather.

Glow plugs are typically automatically activated by the engine control system and are deactivated after the engine starts. This minimizes power consumption, ensuring efficiency during normal engine operation.

Tractor glow plugs play a crucial role in ensuring the reliable operation of tractors in cold weather conditions.
