Idea N o 0061 – 0769 1891 –1934 From air liquefaction to air separation 1891 1892 The General Electric Company is founded in the USA.
1893 1894 1895 Swedish physicist Anders Ångström measures the total intensity of solar radiation. Air liquefaction, “Linde Air,” rectification: into new markets with new research findings With air liquefaction, Carl von Linde created the conditions needed to produce pure gases using low-temperature processes. These gases include not only oxygen and nitrogen, but also hydrogen and inert gases – a technology whose future has only just begun. An order from the Guinness Brewery in Dublin in 1892 to develop and install a carbon dioxide liquefaction plant gave von Linde the concrete impulse that started his work with low temperatures. Carl von Linde accepted the project although his company had never yet built any such plant. In 1894, von Linde began developing an early air liquefaction machine based on the knowledge gained from carbon dioxide liquefaction. He started from the idea of using the air itself as a refrigerant – using the cold generated when air moves from a higher pressure to a lower one for the additional cooling. This effect had already been described in 1862 by researchers Thomson and Joule. The process The more air is compressed, the more cold is generated when it expands. This cooling effect increases exponentially when the air is pre-cooled. However, von Linde could not achieve the temperature Celsius needed to liquefy the air (about minus 190 degrees) from expansion from high to low pressure and precooling alone. That required a cooling cycle in which the cold generated by the expansion is transferred to the compressed, pre-cooled air in the countercurrent. In a continuous process, the cold given off from each cycle was multiplied until the air was liquefied and could be collected in a container. While proven technology was available for compression and pre-cooling, the challenge for von Linde and his son Friedrich, who worked in the refrigeration testing station after receiving his Doctorate in physics, was to develop a suitable countercurrent German engineer Rudolph Diesel introduces the engine which will bear his name. A small air liquefaction plant by Linde could be seen at the Bavarian Industrial and Commercial Exhibition in Nuremberg as early as 1896. apparatus. They decided on a 100-meter long double steel tube, which was wound into a spiral and well insulated, encased in wood. If at first you succeed … The first trial then began in May. In his memoir “Aus meinem Leben und von meiner Arbeit,” Carl von Linde wrote: “Happy and excited, we watched the temperature drop according to the effect described by Thomson and Joule, even after we had far surpassed the limits within which those researchers had worked.” 23
