Abstract
An internal combustion engine includes multiple combustion chambers. The supply of fuel into at least one subset of the combustion chambers can temporarily be interrupted. It is provided that the fuel be injected into the combustion chambers directly and during a switchover phase for interrupting or resuming fuel injection into the subset of combustion chambers, at least temporarily via multiple injections.
Claims11
A method for operating an internal combustion engine having multiple combustion chambers, the method comprising:
- intermittently interrupting a supply of fuel into at least one subset of the combustion chambers;
- and
- directly injecting fuel into the combustion chambers during a switchover phase for one of interrupting and resuming the fuel injection into at least the subset of the combustion chambers at least intermittently via multiple injections.
A computer program embodied in a computer-readable medium containing instructions which when executed by a processor perform the following method for operating an internal combustion engine having multiple combustion chambers:
- intermittently interrupting a supply of fuel into at least one subset of the combustion chambers;
- and
- directly injecting fuel into the combustion chambers during a switchover phase for one of interrupting and resuming the fuel injection into at least the subset of the combustion chambers at least intermittently via multiple injections.
An electric storage medium for a control/regulating unit of an internal combustion engine having multiple combustion chambers, the storage medium storing a computer program containing instructions which when executed by a processor perform the following method for operating the engine:
- intermittently interrupting a supply of fuel into at least one subset of the combustion chambers;
- and
- directly injecting fuel into the combustion chambers during a switchover phase for one of interrupting and resuming the fuel injection into at least the subset of the combustion chambers at least intermittently via multiple injections.
A control/regulating unit for an internal combustion engine having multiple combustion chambers, comprising:
- means for intermittently interrupting a supply of fuel into at least one subset of the combustion chambers;
- and
- means for directly injecting fuel into the combustion chambers during a switchover phase for one of interrupting and resuming the fuel injection into at least the subset of the combustion chambers at least intermittently via multiple injections.
