The invention relates to an internal combustion engine comprising at least one working cylinder (22) having a working chamber (36) defined by a working piston (18) and having an inlet valve (54) and an outlet valve (50), at least one compressor cylinder (20) with a compressor chamber (34) defined by a compressor piston (16) and having a fresh charge inlet valve (46), a bypass device having at least one bypass chamber (80) defined by a bypass piston (84) and connected to the compressor chamber (34) via a bypass passage (92), in which a bypass valve (106) is arranged, and wherein said bypass chamber is connected, directly or indirectly, to the working chamber (36) via an expulsion passage (96), in which the inlet valve (54) is arranged. The movement of the pistons (16, 18, 84) and the operation of the valves (46, 106, 54) are coordinated with one another in such a way that fresh charge compressed in the compressor chamber (34) is expelled into the bypass chamber (80) and is exhausted from the bypass chamber into the working chamber (36), wherein in the internal combustion engine according to the invention the bypass passage 92 leads through a cooler (100). |
