Torch iridium platinum plug
¡ñ The center electrode uses the
A larger center electrode means a greater cooling effect and poorer ignitability. On the other hand, the 0.6mm diameter iridium
center electrodes have an extremely small cooling effect, reducing misfiring and realizing good ignitability, the basic function of a
spark plug.
Also, because taxis use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as fuel, a large electrode increases the required voltage, and because this
places a larger load on ignition system, it affects the life of the vehicle. With its 0.6mm center electrode that keeps the required
voltage low, it can be said that the Torch iridium platinum plug is a car-friendly spark plug.
A Platinum tip was used, which has a long history of use in platinum plugs. By significantly controlling electrode wear, weve achieved
a level of durability equal to that of platinum plugs.
Improved Acceleration
, through its 0.6mm diameter iridium center electrode, has realized high ignition performance and low spark voltage at levels
heretofore unseen. Because of this, there is less misfiring under high spark voltage conditions and fewer misfires under conditions
where ignition is difficult, permitting operation with a high level of response under a variety of conditions. As a result, acceleration
has been improved.
By welding a platinum tip to the ground electrode, wear has been controlled to a significant extent in Torch iridium platinum plug
. In addition to acceleration performance, the life and durability of this plug has been increased to that of a platinum plug.
Durability Comparison
*The service lifetime of Torch iridium platinum plug will depend on operating conditions and the vehicle it is installed on. (Service
lifetime may become shorter depending on the vehicle¡¯s ignition system.)
