Abstract
A pre-chamber component for an internal combustion engine includes a chamber for accommodating an air-fuel-mixture to be ignited, wherein the pre-chamber component includes a first opening into the chamber for arranging an ignition device, in particular a spark plug, and a second opening for introducing the air-fuel-mixture in the form of a mixture flow into the chamber. The pre-chamber component includes a mixture flow guiding device, which is shaped such that the mixture flow of the air-fuel-mixture in the chamber is oriented substantially transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis from the second opening of the chamber to at least a part of the chamber adjacent to the first opening and/or in the form of a turbulent flow.
