An injection nozzle for the direct injection of a liquid fuel into a cylinder chamber of a piston engine includes multiple spray holes for generating injection jets. The multiple spray holes are distributed on a nozzle body of the injection nozzle in the peripheral direction. At least one pair of spray holes adjoining in the peripheral direction is provided, the longitudinal center axes of which enclose a pair angle in the peripheral direction that is smaller than an adjacent angle which is enclosed between the longitudinal center axis of the respective spray hole of the spray hole pair in the peripheral direction and a longitudinal center axis of a spray hole adjoining the spray hole pair in the peripheral direction.

Injection nozzle

In a method of forming a fuel/air mixture in an internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection, wherein a combustion air flow is admitted to each cylinder through at least one intake passage tangentially to the cylinder wall such that a combustion air spin flow about the cylinder axis is formed in the combustion chamber and fuel is injected into the combustion chamber in a fuel beam extending along the cylinder axis, at least one additional fluid stream is added to the combustion air flow in the intake passage at the side of the intake passage opposite the direction of the spin flow in the combustion chamber so as to provide an additional spin impulse to the combustion air in the combustion chamber.
