<p>A reciprocating piston internal combustion engine 10 with self-ignition comprises at least one cylinder 11 with a main combustion chamber 19, at least one comparatively smaller ignition chamber 20 for each cylinder 11, each ignition chamber 20 being connected to the main combustion chamber 19 by way of an injection port 21, and an adjustable delivery injection pump 17, by means of which fuel can be injected by way of an injection nozzle 16 into the main combustion chamber 19. For reciprocating piston internal combustion engines which have a piston displacement with two separate injections, one ignition chamber per cylinder 11 has an injection pump 23 without adjustable delivery for a separate fuel injection. In reciprocating piston internal combustion engines which have a piston displacement with only one injection, one ignition chamber 20 per cylinder 11 has a glow device as starting aid, for example in the form of an electrical spiral-type permanent glow plug, and/or an ignition pin of temperature resistant, heat-retaining material extending into the area of the centre of the ignition chamber. …<IMAGE>… </p> |
