The invention describes a method for operating an internal combustion engine having at least one working cylinder with a working chamber which is bounded by a working piston and has an inlet valve and an outlet valve, at least one compressor cylinder with a compressor chamber which is bounded by a compression piston and has a fresh charge inlet valve and an overflow valve, and an overflow chamber which is connected to the compressor chamber when the overflow valve is open, and is connected to the working chamber when the inlet valve is open, containing the following steps: fresh charge flows into the compressor chamber with an accompanying increase in the volume of the compressor chamber, fresh charge which is located in the compressor chamber is compressed with an accompanying reduction in volume of the compressor chamber, the compressed fresh charge is transferred into the overflow chamber, the compressed fresh charge which is in the overflow chamber is expelled into the working chamber, the fresh charge which is in the working chamber is burnt with an accompanying increase in volume of the working chamber and conversion of thermal energy into mechanical work and discharging of the burnt charge with an accompanying reduction in volume of the working chamber, in which case the volume of the overflow chamber increases during at least part of the transfer process and at the end of the expulsion process it is less than 15%, or preferably less than 10%, particularly preferably less than 5%, and even more preferably less than 1%, of the maximum volume of the overflow chamber. |
