Method for the load-controlling operation of electromagnetically activated intake valves of an internal combustion engine

摘要

In order to be able to implement low loads at high rotational speeds in an internal combustion engine with electromagnetically activated intake valves, one intake valve of a cylinder is operated in the free flying phase, i.e. not held in the open position, and the other intake valve of the cylinder is correspondingly opened for a longer time. Alternatively, the first valve can also be held closed.
