Spark plugs for stationary engines

A very important component in any spark ignited engine is of course the spark plug itself. In spite of the simple component that a spark plug appears to be, it is a very sophisticated and important item in the combustion process.

It is of the upmost importance to pick the best spark plug for each application. A sparking plug needs to meet a whole set of conditions in order to perform well in the engine. Heat range, threading type and seat, nose projection, torque value, electrode gap size and electrode-material alloys. Every aspect plays a part in the spark plug performance. This is why there is no single plug that “has it all” and for that reason Hatraco supplies a larger industrial spark plug program than any other party in Europe. Heavy duty spark plugs are the best plugs that are manufactured in general and need to perform under much heavier conditions than the average automotive spark plug. We are talking higher cylinder pressures, higher cylinder temperatures and ignition voltages and at the same time much longer plug life is required. Stationary engines don’t always run on clean fuels like home quality natural gas. In many cases, engines need to run on dirty gases like well-head gas, sewage gas, waste gas, mine gas, wood gas etc. These type of fuels can be severely contaminated, low ignitability (low BTU)  or contain aggressive elements. It requires a precise spark plug choice. Industrial spark plug form an exceptional spark plug family and are commonly only available through specialist sales parties. Hatraco is more than happy to help you personally and specify the best plug for your application. This is why you will not find our spark plug program in a web-shop.
