Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for regulating the surface temperature of a glow plug is described, wherein the electrical resistance of the glow plug is continuously measured and used to regulate the surface temperature of the glow plug to a target temperature or a target resistance corresponding to the target temperature by means of a resistance temperature characteristic. According to this disclosure, it is provided that the resistance temperature characteristic used for the temperature regulation is adjusted as a function of the present motor operating state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for regulating the surface temperature of a glow plug, comprising: continuously measuring electrical resistance of the glow plug; using the continuously measured resistance and a resistance temperature characteristic to regulate the surface temperature of the glow plug to a target temperature or a target resistance corresponding to the target temperature; and adjusting the resistance temperature characteristic as a function of the present motor…
