Abstract :CNG is compressed natural gas. CNG compressor is the equipment which provides to compress the low pressure natural gas into high pressures. The usage of gases in high pressures is a current issue in industrial institutions and transportation. However, the economical analysis of rising to high pressure is very important in terms of energy costs. In this study, the working parameters of CNG compressors with high pressures that have 3 and 4 stage numbers have been examined experimentally and the gasoline cost during compressing has been calculated. In the compressors with changing stage numbers, it is aimed that the gasoline cost should be the comparison element beside the working parameters like heat and pressure.
