Spark plug
A spark plug is an essential engine part responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. Here’s some information you can provide about spark plugs:
Spark Plug: A spark plug is a small, cylindrical device threaded into the engine’s cylinder head. It has two primary functions:
- Ignition: When electrical current is sent through the spark plug, it generates a spark at the electrode gap. This spark ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture in the engine, initiating combustion.
- Heat Dissipation: Spark plugs also play a role in dissipating heat from the combustion chamber. The design and materials used in a spark plug determine its heat range, which can affect engine performance.
Spark plugs come in various types and designs, and selecting the right spark plug for an engine depends on factors such as the engine’s specifications, operating conditions, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular maintenance, including cleaning or replacing spark plugs as needed, is essential for optimal engine performance.
