A method and apparatus controls intake air humidification spraying with at least two spraying nozzles (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) for spraying a liquid into the intake air. When an amount of the liquid to be supplied through the spraying nozzles increases, liquid flow passages are opened for more nozzles (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) and/or the liquid flow is directed into a flow passage leading to one of the spraying nozzles that permits a larger liquid flow per unit of time than another of the spraying nozzles, and when an amount of the liquid to be supplied through the nozzles decreases, liquid flow channels are closed at least for one of the spraying nozzles (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) and/or the liquid flow is directed to one of the spraying nozzles that permits a smaller liquid flow per unit of time than another of the spraying nozzles.

Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the amount of liquid to be supplied through the spraying nozzles (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) is adjusted as a function of the engine load. 9. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that a liquid mist is sprayed through the spraying nozzles (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d). 10. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the liquid mist is injected at a pressure of 10-300 bar. 11. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the maximum droplet size of the liquid mist injected is typically 200 micrometers. 12. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that a second medium is conveyed to the spraying nozzles when in it is in closed state to prevent clogging of the spraying nozzle. 13. In apparatus supplying a liquid into intake air of an engine, the improvements comprising: at least two spraying nozzles for spraying a liquid as a mist into a duct for the intake air; at least two feed channels (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) with valve elements (A1, B1, C1, D1) respectively leading to the spraying nozzles; a control system giving impulses on the basis of which the valve elements are opened and closed; liquid supply means (4, 6, 10) for supplying the liquid into the feed channels (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d); and an outlet pipe (5) and at least one outlet channel (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), through which a connection to the outlet pipe from the supply pipe (4) leading to the nozzles can be opened and closed. 14. Apparatus according to claim 13, characterized in that the outlet channel (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) is provided with a valve element (A2, B2, C2, D2) arranged to close when the corresponding valve element (A1, B1, C1, D1) in the feed channel (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) leading to the nozzle opens and to open when the valve element in the corresponding feed channel leading to the nozzle closes. 15.
