A controller for an internal combustion engine is configured to execute a first injection process that causes a water injection valve to inject water when an intake valve is open and a second injection process that causes the water injection valve to inject water when the intake valve is closed. The controller is further configured to set a pressure of the water supplied to the water injection valve to be higher in the second injection process than in the first injection process.

A water injection device, in particular of an internal combustion engine, includes a water tank for storing water, a conveying element connected to the water tank for conveying water, at least one water injector connected to the conveying element for injecting water, and a water quality and water fill level detection device for detecting a quality of the water in the water tank and a fill level of the water tank.

Disclosed herein are a method of controlling a water injector for immediate water injection and an engine driven by the method. A method of controlling an operation of a water injector for injecting water into the combustion chamber of an engine to which a turbo system for increasing the amount of air by pressing air has been applied includes detecting water pressure applied to a water supply pipe for supplying water to the water injector, stopping an operation of a water supply pump when the detected data reaches a preset reference value, detecting a temperature of water within the water supply pipe for supplying the water to the water injector, and returning the water within the water supply pipe to a water storage tank and driving the water supply pump to supplying new water to the water supply pipe when the detected data deviates from a preset range.

A control device is provided for a cooling liquid injection system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The cooling liquid injection system includes at least two activatable injectors for introducing a cooling liquid into the internal combustion engine, which injectors can be controlled by the control device. The injectors can be supplied with cooling liquid by way of a common rail, and the control device is designed to receive an inclination variable, which characterizes an inclination of the rail, to determine an activation response for the injectors in dependence on the inclination variable, and to activate the injectors using the determined activation response in order to empty or fill the rail.
