Siemens cycle process

The Siemens cycle is a technology for cooling or liquefying gases. A gas is compressed, which leads to a temperature increase according to Gay-Lussac's law . The gas compressed in this way is then cooled down in a heat exchanger . The compressed gas, cooled down to ambient temperature, is then expanded, which causes a temperature drop, again in accordance with Gay-Lussac's law. The result is a gas (or liquefied petroleum gas ) that is colder than the initial state and can be under the same pressure as the initial state.

Carl Wilhelm Siemens patented the Siemens process in 1857.
