Abstract
A piston engine includes a feed channel for conducting combustion air to the engine, a collecting container for receiving combustion air from the feed channel, and a feed pipe for conducting combustion air from the collecting container to a cylinder of the engine. Moistening fluid is introduced into the combustion air at a location upstream of the feed pipe and a droplet separator removes droplets of moistening fluid from air flowing through the feed pipe.
