Abstract

At room temperature, Natural gas in its gaseous form is very energy consuming for transportation as well as its use, because of large volume. So, it is compressed to transport through cylinders and expanded again at the point of its distribution/use. Two of the most important factor influencing the energy consumption in compression of gases are the type of compressor control and proper compressor sizing [1]. It is expected that the current work through this paper will create awareness on the potential energy savings in CGD system.
