This dissertation describes the thermodynamical analysis of a hydrogen fueling station with cryopump technology. A dynamic, object-oriented computer model of the hydrogen fueling station is developed. This model calculates, amongst other thermodynamical properties, the temporal and spatial variation of the hydrogen temperature and the hydrogen carrying equipment. The model is validated with data from measurements at a testing facility. Then the model is used for the analysis of several hydrogen fueling station designs, including a new method of regulating the hydrogen temperature by mixing two streams of different temperature levels.
