- the glow tube 91 serves the mechanical protection of
- Heating coil 92 and shields them against chemically aggressive media, such as atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen, fuel residues and combustion residues.
- the glow tube 91 transmits the heat energy released by the heating coil 92 into the combustion chamber. This arrangement ensures that the electrical resistance remains low at room temperature, but then increases with increasing temperature during operation. Such glow plugs continue to find in glow starter motors or as
- glow plugs are in addition to a controller as part of so-called quick start systems for diesel engines state of the art. These are characterized by the fact that the operating voltage of the glow plugs used, so-called low-voltage glow plugs, 4 to 7 volts is below the available vehicle electrical system voltage. This operating voltage is referred to below as the nominal voltage.

- a structure of the heating coil of a combination of different high temperature resistant materials with high electrical resistivity is also conceivable, what but in turn can lead to increased manufacturing costs.
- a glow plug designed in this way is a parallel connection of the heating coil resistance, which changes only slightly with temperature, with an NTC resistor in the form of the filling material. With such a combination of materials inside the glow tube, it is possible to achieve a rapid heating of the glow plug despite comparatively high cold resistance.
- the material of the heating coil is a heat-resistant metal, which changes its resistance as a function of the temperature little or not, thus maintaining an approximately constant electrical resistivity over a wide temperature range, for example up to 1400 ° C.

Due to the nature of the powder and mixtures of insulating powder and NTC powder also by the mixing ratio and the ratio of the particle size distributions of insulating powder and NTC powder, the resistance characteristic of the glow plug can be adjusted depending on the temperature in a wide range. Such
- Temperature coefficient of electrical resistance and an insulating material may be adjusted so that the filler has a specific electrical resistance, which is low between 100 ° C and 400 ° C, which at
