 BACKGROUND

Bosch Industrial Series brand is relatively new to

this market, but Bosch is not new to spark plugs
First Bosch patent for spark plugs was obtained in 1898
Bosch recently made their 10 billionth spark plug

Industrial Series products are specifically

designed for gas gathering and transmission
industry

Plans are to expand product

coverage into areas besides
spark plugs and combustion
sensors

3
 INDUSTRIAL SERIES GOAL
Spark plugs optimized for high load, natural gas
compression engines
Over 100 years of spark plug engineering experience
Robust construction methods
Highest quality heavy duty components
Precious metals in center and ground electrodes in almost all plugs
Result is superior spark plug
Unsurpassed reliability
Exceptional resistance to wear
Greatly extended service life

Benefit: Longer run times and improved durability result in less

engine down time, lower costs, and a higher return on investment.

 SPARK PLUG LIFE

Many Factors Affect Spark Plug Life

Engine make and model
Engine set up
Engine age and condition
Load
Gas quality
Engine maintenance practices
Spark plug installation and maintenance practices
Oil quality
Others

Bosch Industrial Series Plug Performance

Consistently much greater run life than with competitive plugs in majority of
applications
Some customers also report much improved emissions control

 SAVINGS
Considerable Savings Are Available With Bosch

Higher quality and dependability

Longer plug life fewer plugs purchased
Reduced inspection of plugs between changes
Elimination of random low hour plug failures and call outs
Can be common with the leading competition
Often result in significant downtime, and correspondingly high costs

Some customers report reduced emissions

And, we offer very competitive pricing!
