P13. What are the features of the special type spark plugs?

There are a great variety of special types, such as long spark discharger type, salient spark discharger type, platinum end type, ISO dimensions type, rotative motor type and compact type for industrial machines, with the following characteristics:

 

 
Long spark discharger type
Example: BPR5ES-11

They are spark plugs with the recess enters the electrodes superior to the conventional (0,7 and 0,8) being able to vary of 1,0 to 2,0 mm, with the objective to increase the spark energy (This recess is determined in accordance with the specifications of the manufacturer).

Obs: The ignition system must be dimensionado for this use.


Pronounced ignition end type
Example: BE529Y-11, ZFR6E-11

The electrodes are projected, being situated near the combustion chamber center. This allows the use of poor mixtures, diminishing the emission of pollutant gases and providing bigger fuel economy.

NOTE: This spark plug can only be used in specific engines.

 

 

 
Platinum type
Example: BCPR5EP-11

The electrodes have platinum ends to provide maximum duration and ignition.

They possess diameter of 0,8mm, what it diminishes the "extinguishing effect".

 

International norm type (ISO)
Example: BUR9EQ

The ISO dimensions type has 2,5 mm less than the BCP type, measured from the housing base up to the ending screw-nut. For identifying purposes, the NGK spark plugs logotype and the part number are underlined.

 

 
Rotative engine type
Example: BUR9EQ

Used in Mazda 13B turbo and 20B engines. The earth connected electrodes are provided with a transversal breach, for superior efficiency against dirty.

 

 

 

Compact type for industrial machines
Example: BMR6A, CM-6, BL-6H

The compact type, small and light, is used in small machines, such as chainsaws and loawn mowers.
