Nowadays, the natural gas has been used as energy resource to decrease environment pollution and support fuel economy in the vehicles, which are used in commercial load and passenger transport. Using natural gas has become prevalent in private vehicles. In this vehicles, high pressure natural gas compressor are used to fuel up in the station. CNG compressor, which is located in the center of filling up the vehicles, fill up natural gas to the CNG tank at 200-250 bar pressure, which is taken to the inner city lines, and natural gas has been transmitted from tanks to the storage of vehicles. In this study, the four-piston CNG compressor prototype that is designed and manufactured has been compressing the natural gas, which has been taken with a 0.022 bar pressure from the inner-city lines into 200 bar pressure. The pressure and flow tests of compressor that is manufactured have been given at result section. Moreover, energy performance tests and calculations of CNG compressor has been made.
