Carl von Linde, German Inventor

Carl Paul Gottfried von Linde (1842-1934) was a German engineer who developed refrigeration and gas separation technologies. Linde's first refrigeration system used Dimethyl ether as the refrigerant and was built for the Spaten Brewery in 1873. He quickly developed more reliable ammonia-based cycles. These were early examples of vapor-compression refrigeration machines, and ammonia is still in wide use as a refrigerant in industrial applications. His apparatus for the liquefaction of air combined the cooling effect achieved by allowing a compressed gas to expand with a counter-current heat exchange technique that used the cold air produced by expansion to chill ambient air entering the apparatus. Linde followed development of air liquefaction equipment with equipment that also separated air into its constituent parts using distillation processes. Linde's inventions and developments spurred development in many areas of cryogenics, physics, chemistry and engineering.
