Abstract
In this study, simulation work of HCNG refueling system was performed. The hydrogen was produced from steam reforming process by natural gas. The conversion of natural gas is increased as SCR is increased. but it was no significant difference more than 3 of SCR and fuel throughput is increased as GHSV is increased. Both conversion and fuel throughput levels was optimized when the $1700h^{-1}$ of GHSV. CNG was compressed from low pressure natural gas. For the mixing of $H_2$ and CNG is mixed with the high pressure conditions such as 400bar of $H_2$ and 250bar of natural gas. Single-stage compression was required more power than multi stage. So, multi stage compression was suggested for high pressure compression. We calculated the intermediate pressure to minimize total required power of compressors. The intermediate pressure for $H_2$ and natural gas were derived at 61 and 65 bar, respectively.
