Abstract:
A method for operating a diesel internal combustion engine,wherein fresh air for the combustion of a fuel/air mixture is compressed by an exhaust-gas turbocharger and is supplied into a combustion space of its cylinders through at least one fresh-air inlet, wherein, during the starting of the diesel internal combustion engine, additional gas is capable of being supplied as starting gas to the combustion space through at least one separate additional-gas inlet by means of at least one separate additional-gas valve, wherein, when the diesel internal combustion engine is operating under part load or under transient load, oxygen-containing additional gas is additionally supplied to the combustion space before ignition of the fuel/air mixture through at least one of these separate additional-gas inlets, and wherein, when the diesel internal combustion engine is operating under part load or under transient load, the additional oxygen-containing additional gas is supplied to the combustion space after the closing of the fresh-air inlet.
