An internal combustion engine including at least one combustion chamber having a main chamber and a prechamber, wherein the prechamber is in fluid connection with the main chamber via at least one bore. The at least one combustion chamber is connected to a charging path for the supply of a combustion air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber via the charging path. A fuel intermixing region is arranged in a section of the charging path separately assigned to the combustion chamber, which fuel intermixing region is in fluid connection with the charging path on one side and with a fuel line on the other side for the supply of fuel into the fuel intermixing region via a controllable fuel valve. The internal combustion engine wherein the prechamber and the fuel intermixing region are in fluid connection with one another via a check valve.

Internal combustion engine and method for operating an internal combustion engine

The invention relates to an internal combustion machine (), comprising a combustion engine () having an exhaust gas side (AGS) and a charging fluid side (LLS), and having a supercharger system () comprising an exhaust gas turbo charger () for charging the combustion engine (), having a condenser array () on the charging fluid side (LLS) and a turbine arrangement () on the exhaust gas side (AGS), a compressor (), the primary side (I) of which is connected to the charging fluid side (LLS), and the secondary side (II) of which is connected to the exhaust gas side (AGS). An electric machine () configured as a motor/generator is coupled to the combustion engine (), wherein the electric machine () as a generator can be powered by the combustion engine (), or can power the combustion engine () as a motor, wherein the compressor () can be powered directly by the electric machine () via a mechanical drive coupling ().
