Abstract
A liquid gas engine includes at least one combustion chamber, in which a liquid gas/air mixture is introduced and ignited, the liquid gas engine having an injection device which injects liquid gas via an injection nozzle. The injection nozzle opens into the combustion chamber, so that the liquid gas is injected directly into the combustion chamber. The direct injection of the liquid gas achieves ideal combustion conditions, particularly since liquid gas evaporating in the combustion chamber induces cooling which is utilized particularly under a high load. The liquid gas engine is preferably provided with an injection device which is designed as an alternating piston pump and which works on the energy accumulation principle.
