Abstract
A direct-injection, supercharged internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder, in which each cylinder is equipped with a direct injection apparatus, a fuel supply system comprising a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side, and a high-pressure piston pump comprising a piston displaceable in translational fashion between a bottom dead center and a top dead center of a pressure chamber of variable volume. The displaceable piston jointly delimits the pressure chamber with variable volume in such a way that a displacement of the piston causes a change in the volume of the pressure chamber via actuation of least one movable actuation element.
