Advanced high-performance spark plug
design, with new ceramic formula, enables long life and increases
service intervals for stationary and heavy-duty on- and off-road
applications
SKOKIE,
Ill., Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tenneco
Inc.´s (NYSE: TEN) Powertrain business group is launching a range
of new Champion® industrial spark plugs, known for their
reliable, strong performance and robust durability in industrial
applications. The newly designed ignition offerings represent an
economical double Iridium solution which rounds out Tenneco's
Champion aftermarket value plug portfolio.
"Our two latest Champion industrial spark plugs, in a M14 range
with HEX16mm and a new stronger ceramic, yield additional
electrical and mechanical strength. The new designs, designated
C-4001, are intended for use in stationary biogas and natural-gas
commercial truck, bus, and construction machinery applications,"
said Volker Scherer, Director
Industrial Ignition, Sales & Engineering, Tenneco.
These double Iridium M14 J-Gap high performance spark plugs,
offered with nominal electrode gaps of 0.25mm for stationary usage
and 0.40mm for on- and off-road applications, feature a series of
design advances. A new ceramic formula for improved electrical and
mechanical strength enables greater resistance against high-voltage
failures. A unique Ni-plated shell hot-locking assembly increases
mechanical robustness against dynamic combustion pressure. Further,
the combination of laser-welded iridium pads and a tailored mass of
precious metals provides lifetime improvements over similar spark
plug technologies on the market.
"Our advanced ceramic formula enables higher voltage resistance,
which in turn increases the lifetime of the spark plug. In
addition, the double Iridium alloy ensures adequate lifetime and
service intervals for our heavy-duty and stationary industrial
customers," stated Scherer.
Tenneco industrial ignition products are sold under the
GOETZE®, Auburn® and Champion®
brands globally; they are industry-leading technologies servicing
all heavy-duty and industrial engine segments, including on- and
off-highway, marine, power generation, compression/pumping, and
heating. Champion was the first to pioneer ignition products
for heavy-duty and industrial applications and, for over 100 years,
is still driving the market in product excellence.
