BERU®️Glow Plug Control Units
BERU®️uses its innovative Glow Plug Control Unit with Micro-controller to ensure optimal starting in high-performance BMWs. This advanced component communicates with the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to translate vital information (e.g. glow request, engine speed, coolant temperature and the amount of injected fuel) into a desired glow plug voltage. The unit then adjusts the current on-board voltage to this value, optimising the operation of the diesel engine.
BERU®️’s range of cold-start ignition technologies includes components, such as the BERU®️ Glow Plug Control Unit, which have been developed specifically to meet the needs of high-performance, premium cars, including the BMW where it was the first to market.
Benefits of BERU®️’s glow plug control units:
- Flawless starting operation even on cold mornings
- Combined with ISS technology, BERU®️ Glow Plug Control Units offer consistent performance results
