Linde|ˈlɪndə|
The name of Carl P. G. R. von Linde (1842–1934), German physicist, used attrib. to designate a process for liquefying gases by means of repeated cycles of compression, cooling, and expansion, used in the extraction of nitrogen and oxygen from air by exploiting the difference in their boiling points.
1902Encycl. Brit. XXX. 283/2 The efficiency of the Linde process is small, but it is easily conducted and only requires plenty of cheap power. 1928J. K. Roberts Heat & Thermodynamics v. 111 Much less preliminary cooling is necessary to liquefy a gas by the Linde method than by the Cascade process. 1937M. W. Zemansky Heat & Thermodynamics xiv. 251 In the Linde process for the production of liquid air, the initial temperature, initial pressure and final pressure are chosen so that, after passing through a throttling valve, a drop in temperature is produced. 1968B. J. Hazzard tr. Asinger's Paraffins ii. 105 After the removal of carbon dioxide and benzene by washing, coke-oven gas is liquefied by the Linde process, all the constituents except the hydrogen and some nitrogen condensing. |
