Abstract: A dual-fuel internal combustion engine includes: cylinders for combusting a first liquid fuel having a first ignitability in a first operating mode, and a second liquid fuel having a second lesser ignitability, in a second operating mode; a main injection system including a main injector for each cylinder, for feeding the first liquid fuel to the respective cylinders in the first operating mode and for feeding the second liquid fuel to the respective cylinders in the second operating mode; and a pilot injection system including a pilot injector for each cylinder, via which the first liquid fuel can is feedable to the respective cylinders in the second operating mode for igniting the second liquid fuel. The main and pilot injection systems are coupled such that in the second operating mode the first liquid fuel, is feedable to the respective main injector as a working fluid and/or a barrier fluid.

Abstract: An injector for a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine, namely for a common rail fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine which is formed in particular as a large diesel internal combustion engine or ship's diesel internal combustion engine, having an injection nozzle, a control valve and a retaining body. The injection nozzle and the control valve form a clamped composite, and the composite formed of the injection nozzle and control valve can be mounted on the retaining body as a unit and disassembled from the retaining body as a unit.
