METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine by introducing air. The method is characterised in that air is guided into the intake area after the internal combustion engine has been switched off. Optionally, the inlet valves and the outlet valves of at least one cylinder are arranged in a position wherein the at least one inlet valve and one outlet valve of a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine are simultaneously opened. One particular advantage of said method is that it can be used with an internal combustion engine provided with an electric turbo charger for introducing the air.
