摘要 |
The invention relates to an internal combustion engine (1), in particular, for a motor vehicle, in which, in a first operational mode, fuel can be directly injected into a combustion chamber (4) during an induction phase and, in a second operational mode, can be combusted in said combustion chamber during a compression phase. Exhaust gas resulting from combustion can be fed to a catalytic converter (12). The control unit (18) can initiate the injection of additional fuel in the second operational state following a combustion. In addition, the control unit (18) can measure the temperature of the exhaust gas located inside the catalytic converter (12) or downstream therefrom and can compare the measured temperature to a threshold value.
