CYLINDER FOR A RECIPROCATING PISTON ENGINE, RECIPROCATING COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

The invention relates to a gas supply system (1) for a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, in particular a longitudinally scavenged two-stroke large diesel engine, wherein the gas supply system (1) comprises a gas inlet valve (2) with a gas inlet nozzle (3), which is designed such that it can be arranged in a cylinder wall (41) of a cylinder (4) of the reciprocating piston internal combustion engine in such a way that a fuel gas (5) provided as fuel can be supplied to a combustion chamber (42) of the cylinder (4) by means of the gas inlet nozzle (3) in the installed state of the gas supply system (1). According to the invention, the gas inlet nozzle (3) is detachably connected to the gas inlet valve (2) and exchangeably connected to the cylinder wall (41), and a nozzle axis (D) of the gas inlet nozzle (3) is arranged at a specifiable angle (±) with respect to a valve axis (V) of the gas inlet valve (2) such that the fuel gas (5) in the operating and installed state of the gas supply system (1) can be injected into the combustion chamber (42) of the cylinder (4) at a non-zero specifiable angle with respect to a radial direction (R) and/or with respect to an axial direction (A) of the cylinder (4). The invention further relates to a cylinder and a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine with a gas supply system (1) as well as a method for operating a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine.
