A METHOD FOR OPERATING A LARGE ENGINE AND A LARGE ENGINE

摘要

A method for operating a large engine having a plurality of cylinders 21 in a gas mode is proposed, a premixed air-fuel mixture having an air-fuel ratio is provided to the combustion chamber by introduction of fuel, and the air-fuel ratio or large engine 20 is At least one control parameter depending on the actuated load is monitored, and when the control parameter reaches a limit value, the large engine 20 is operated in reduced mode, in which at least one cylinder 21 is switched off. Thus, the large engine 20 is operated with a reduced number of cylinders 21, and the air-fuel ratio becomes suitable for a reduced number of cylinders 21. Also, a large engine is proposed, and this large engine is operated in such a way.
