Abstract

Beschrieben wird ein Verfahren zum Betreiben von Glühkerzen, welche ein Gehäuse und ein über das Gehäuse vorstehendes Glühelement haben, in einem Dieselmotor, welcher mit einem Motorsteuergerät und mit einem Glühkerzensteuergerät zusammenarbeitet ist, welches im Anschluss an eine Vorglühphase die den Glühkerzen zugeführte elektrische Leistung in Abhängigkeit von einer vom Motorsteuergerät erhaltenen Vorgabe steuert. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Motorsteuergerät eine Größe ermittelt, welche ein Maß für eine Temperatur ist, die am Glühelement auftreten soll, und diese Größe als Zielvorgabe an das Glühkerzensteuergerät übermittelt, welches diese Zielvorgabe mit einem im Glühkerzensteuergerät gespeicherten Algorithmus und unter Berücksichtigung von im Glühkerzensteuergerät gespeicherten Kennwerten umsetzt.

Figure imgaf001
A method is described for operating glow plugs having a housing and a glow element projecting above the housing in a diesel engine which is cooperated with an engine control unit and with a glow plug control device which, following a preglow phase, adjusts the electrical power supplied to the glow plugs in dependence controls from a specification received from the engine control unit. According to the invention, it is provided that the engine control unit determines a variable which is a measure of a temperature which is to occur on the glow element and transmits this quantity as a target to the glow plug control device which achieves this target with an algorithm stored in the glow plug control device and taking into account the glow plug control device converted characteristic values.
