Carl von Linde

Carl von Linde was a German engineer and scientist who invented a process to liquefy gases, especially air and its components like oxygen and nitrogen. His work revolutionized industries such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and steelmaking, making it possible to cool and preserve products more efficiently. Linde’s innovations laid the foundation for modern cryogenics and gas supply systems, impacting everyday life and industrial processes worldwide. His contributions helped develop safer, more reliable methods for handling gases, playing a crucial role in technology and industry development in the 20th century.
