18.3 CONCLUDING REMARKS
It has been shown that gases can be liquefied in a number of ways. Gases which are liquids at tem-
peratures clos e to ambient can be liquefied by cooling in a simple refrigeration system. Carbon di-
oxide, which cannot be maintained as a liquid at ambient pressure, is made into dry ice which is not in
equilibrium at room temperature and pressure.
If it is necessary to achieve extremely low temperatures to bring about liquefaction, the
Joule–Thomson effect is employed. It is possible to analyse such liquefaction plant using equilibrium
thermodynamics and
