Claim 14:
15. The split cycle internal combustion engine of claim 1 wherein the controller is configured to control the amount of water delivered into the compression cylinder based on the indication of the at least one parameter such that:
when the indication of the at least one parameter is less than a target value for the parameter, the controller is configured to deliver no water into the compression cylinder; and
when the indication of the at least one parameter is equal to or greater than the target value for the parameter, the controller is configured to control the amount of water delivered from the reservoir to the compression cylinder based on the indication of the at least one parameter such that during a compression stroke the water absorbs, via both sensible heat and latent heat, a rise in temperature caused by the compression stroke such that the water vaporises into its gaseous phase during the compression stoke and a rise in temperature caused by the compression stroke is limited by the absorption of heat by the water.
