A prechamber system for an internal combustion engine has a prechamber, a fuel introduction device, a dead space which connects the fuel introduction device to the prechamber. A channel is provided which connects the prechamber to the dead space.

Prechamber system

A method of operating a combustion engine provided with at least one flushed prechamber, and the at least one prechamber is connected to a main combustion chamber of the combustion engine. During a compression phase immediately preceding the ignition in the main combustion chamber&#x2014;after ignition has taken place in the prechamber, in a first transfer phase, gas transfers from the prechamber into the main combustion chamber. After the first transfer phase, an at least two-phase, incompressible medium&#x2014;preferably water&#x2014;is introduced into the prechamber.

Method of operating a combustion engine provided with at least one flushed prechamber

The invention relates to a reciprocating piston engine, comprising at least one main combustion chamber, which is formed between a piston and a cylinder and which is connected by means of a riser to a pre-chamber having a pre-chamber axis, so that gas-air mixture pushed from the main combustion chamber into the riser by the piston forms a rising flow in the pre-chamber, wherein a gas supply channel separate from the riser opens into the prechamber, and wherein the riser and the gas supply channel are oriented with respect to each other in such a way that gas fed into the pre-chamber by means of the gas supply channel hits the rising flow substantially head-on, wherein the riser runs at an angle from the pre-chamber axis.
