Abstract: In this paper, an innovative fuel injection rate measurement methodology for the natural gas and diesel co-direct injection injector was designed to study the dual-fuel injection characteristics for a high-pressure natural gas direct injection engine. The results indicate that the injection mass shows two different upward trends as the energizing time (ET) increases, and it appears more sensitive to the length of ET when it is short. The gas injection duration is affected by both the injection pressure and ambient pressure under the same ET, thus any increase in either will significantly increase the injection duration, resulting in a pronounced increase in gas injection mass. The process of diesel pilot injection has a remarkable effect on the gas injection rate. According to the actual engine working condition, provided that the pilot diesel ET is 0.8 ms, the gas injection mass reaches the minimum value when the split time is about 0.8 ms, meanwhile, it reaches the maximum value when the split time is about 0.2 ms or 2 ms. The results of this study can provide an accurate database for the performance of the injector and accurate fuel injection boundary conditions for the combustion process in the engine cylinder.
