A combustion engine operating in accordance with the two-stroke principle, which comprises alternating power strokes and the compression strokes, wherein the combustion engine comprises at least one cylinder (1) and a piston (2) that performs a reciprocating motion in said cylinder (1), and a combustion chamber (3) delimited by said cylinder (1) and said piston (2), and at least one inlet (13) for the introduction of combustion air into the combustion chamber (3), and at least one outlet (14) for the discharge of exhaust gases from the combustion chamber (3). The engine comprises means (6, 7, 8) for the injection of a liquid other than fuel into the combustion chamber (3) before or during one and the same compression stroke, wherein said means (6, 7, 8) comprises a valve for the injection of said liquid into the combustion chamber (3) and a control unit (8) with a software provided to open the valve (6) in order to inject said liquid, before or during one and the same compression stroke, in connection with the ending of the discharge of exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber (3) and before the start of the introduction of air into the combustion chamber (3).
