Thermodynamic analysis of high pressure hydrogen gas refueling system with turbo-expanders

This paper introduces a new hydrogen refueling system with a micro-scale hydrogen turbo-expander that enables us to replace a conventional low temperature refrigerator. From the process simulation of hydrogen refueling to the tank of a typical Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV), the system is thermodynamicall...
