How do glow plugs work?
 
When the glow plug is turned on, the heating element at its tip gets   heated. This heat is focused into the engine cylinders and heats the   engine block that surrounds them. While generating heat, glow plugs also   emit light causing them to glow. When the engine reaches a certain   temperature, fuel mist is sprayed into the cylinder causing it to   combust and power the engine.
 
Why are glow plugs needed?
 
The temperature in a diesel engine is raised by air compression where   the piston moves upwards and causes air to compress and heat. Diesel   engines are powered when the heat in the cylinder is high enough to   cause fuel sprayed into the cylinder to combust and push down the   piston.
 
Generally during hot weather or after the engine has already been   running, the engine block is at a high enough temperature to cause fuel   combustion to happen quickly when the ignition switch is turned on.
 
However during cold weather or when the engine is to be started in the   morning, the engine temperature is not high enough. In this case a   diesel engine heating system with glow plugs comes into play. Apart from   glow plugs, a diesel engine system generally has a temperature sensor, a   glow plug relay, a timer and an indicator lamp. When the ignition key   is turned to the "on" position, the glow plug relay turns on the glow   plugs in turn causing the indicator lamp to be switched on. The glow   plugs are kept on for a few seconds to heat the engine block. When the   temperature sensor detects that the engine has reached a certain   temperature, the glow plug relay will switch off the glow plugs and the   indicator lamp will go off indicating that the ignition key can now be   turned to the "start" position. This cycle is the pre-heating cycle. The   glow plugs can be kept on even after the pre-heating to cut down on   emissions.
