Theoretical approach was taken to the whole CNG refueling process. In particular, this study was focused on the prediction of flow rate at any given piping configuration of CNG system, in order that a simulation program for the CNG refueling system should be developed. The simulation result of refueling process was compared with experimental result obtained from various kinds of fueling configuration. The simulation results showed a satisfactory agreement within 10% errors in fueling time, fueling amount, and residual pressure. The developed program would be used a good engineering tools for estimating fueling performance for a any given CNG station.

The high pressure hydrogen gas refueling system is required for fuel cell vehicle. In this paper, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT is adopted to investigate the gas flow characteristics inside the check valve for various refueling and tank pressures. The results showed that the choking phenomena can occur for certain refueling pressures, therefore refueling processes should be divided by multiple stages. And a design method to prevent the seal departure problem which reported in CNG usages is required.

CNG, which has recently been attracting attention as an alternative fuel in the transportation field to reduce emissions caused by global warming, is natural gas with abundant reserves and mainly composed of methane. Being in a gaseous state, natural gas requires the compression and liquefaction processes for transportation. Until now, general shut-off valves for liquid and gas piping have been developed in Korea, but there are few studies on shut-off valves for high pressures of about 200 bar. Currently, research on the flow analysis of valves is being actively conducted around the world. However, there are relatively many studies on large valves such as low-pressure valves or shipbuilding and marine, and the safety factor through structural analysis to check the structural integrity of the valve is checked at the design stage. Since it is necessary to have a fast response speed while minimizing pressure and speed loss due to flow change, basic research was conducted on the flow analysis of the valve to secure design data, and the numerical analysis was performed on high-pressure automatic shut-off valves applied to CNG refueling stations. After securing the basic valve shape through reverse engineering for advanced products, we compared the valve flow coefficient Cv coefficient with advanced products. As a result, it was found that the reverse engineering model was at the level of about 60%. However, we compared the Cv coefficient by modifying the reverse engineering model, and the result showed that it was improved to about 96%.

CNG(Compressed Natural Gas)충전소의 주요 핵심설비는 압축기이며, 대부분의 압축기는 윤활이 필요하다. CNG압축기의 윤활유(oil)는 충전 중에 압력 레귤레이터, 엔진 연료공급시스템 등에 전이(Carry-over)되어 천연가스차량의 성능에 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 사전에 방지하기 위해서는 전이되는 오일의 양을 정량적으로 측정하여 공급되는 압축천연가스의 품질관리를 강화하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 CNG오일전이를 측정하기 위해 중량법(Gravimetric method)을 사용한 샘플링 튜브 및 샘플링 장비를 개발하였다. 또한, CNG 충전소 6개소를 대상으로 CNG를 채취하였으며, 오일전이를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 측정된 전체 오일전이양은 2.569에서 6.509ppm 이었으며, 측정된 결과를 선행연구 결과와 비교 검증하였다.

수소와 압축천연가스가 30 : 70비율로 혼합되는 HCNG 공급 시스템의 공정모사를 수행하였다. 수소 생산은 천연가스로부터 수증기 개질 공정을 이용하는 방법이며, 수증기 개질반응기 운전조건으로 SCR은 증가할수록 천연가스의 전환율은 증가하지만 SCR이 3이상부터는 큰 차이가 없었고, GHSV는 증가할수록 연료처리량이 증가하지만 전환율은 감소하여 $1700h^{-1}$일 때 전환율 및 연료처리량이 최적상태가 되었다. CNG는 저압 천연가스가로부터 압축되어 공급되는 시스템이다. 혼합용 수소와 천연가스는 고압상태에서 HCNG로 혼합된다. 수소와 천연가스는 각각 400 bar와 250 bar의 고압으로 압축된다. 고압압축을 위해 단일압축보다 압축소요동력이 적게 사용되는 다단 압축을 사용하였다. 수소와 천연가스압축에 각각 사용된 압축기들의 압축 총 소요 동력을 최소화하는 중간 설정압력으로 각각 61 bar, 65 bar의 중간압력을 도출하였다.
