  • Patent number: 9267483
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a spark ignition gas engine, with fuel gas in the form of biogas by setting an ignition time (ZZP) of the spark ignition gas engine. The method comprises to following steps: mixing of air and fuel gas to form a combustible gas mixture in a mixing arrangement, feeding in and igniting the combustible gas mixture in the combustion chamber while setting an ignition time (ZZP) and burning the combustible gas mixture while discharging exhaust gas from the combustion chamber. The method further comprises the steps of: detection of an exhaust gas temperature (T_AG) of the exhaust gas, predefining at least one reactor position (LRV) of a component of the mixing arrangement, setting the ignition time (ZZP) of the spark ignition gas engine as a function of the exhaust gas temperature (T_AG) and the reactor position (LRV). The reactor position (LRV) is predefined as a manipulated variable by a mixture controller.
