METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DUAL FUEL ENGINE

Method for controlling a dual-fuel engine (1), wherein at least one combustion chamber (4) of the engine is supplied with power in the form of a first, gaseous fuel and in the form of a self-igniting – in particular liquid – second fuel, wherein a knock signal representative of the at least one combustion chamber (4) is detected, characterized in that – in the presence of a knock signal which indicates knocking with at least a first intensity, the amount of first fuel which is supplied to the at least one combustion chamber (4) of the engine (1) is increased, and the increased power input into the combustion chamber (4) effected by the increase in the amount of first fuel is compensated by a corresponding reduction of the power contribution of the second fuel, in the presence of a knock signal which indicates knocking with at least a second intensity, which is greater than the first intensity, the amount of first fuel which is supplied to the at least one combustion chamber (4) is reduced.
