Between the compressor 14 of the charging device 12 and the cylinder 1 1 of the internal combustion engine 10 while a charge air cooler 15 of the charging device 12 is connected to cool the compressed charge air before the introduction of the same into the cylinders 1 1 of the internal combustion engine 10.
- the internal combustion engine 10 of Figure 1 has a pressure vessel 16, which is associated with a valve 17, wherein when the valve 17 is closed, in the pressure vessel 16 held compressed air can not escape from the pressure vessel 16. In contrast, when the valve 17 is opened, the compressed air stored in the pressure vessel 16 can escape from the same.
- the compressed air stored in the pressure vessel 16 can be conducted to open the valve 17 in the direction of the cylinders 11 of the internal combustion engine 10 to accelerate the run-up of the internal combustion engine 10. It is provided in the embodiment of FIG. 1, to introduce the compressed air directly into the compressor 14 of the charging device 12.
