More than sixty years have elapsed since Linde first liquefied air
on a commercial scale and prepared the way for separating of other
gaseous mixtures. His work, however, was not of an isolated nature.
It was conceived eighteen years after air had, for the first time,
been liquefied in the laboratory by Pictet in Geneva and Caillete
in Paris. Linde's liquefaction of air was followed by Dewar's work
on hydrogen liquefaction in London and by the setting up at Leiden
of Kamerlingh Onnes's famous low temperature laboratory. These
advances in low temperature or cryogenic technology have resulted
in the establishment of a completely new and thriving industry.
Cryogenic engineering is concerned with developing and improving
low temperature processes, techniques, and equipment; determining
the physical properties of structural and related materials used in
producing, maintaining, and using low temperatures; and the
practical application of low temperature techniques and processes.
These low tempera tures are below those usually encountered in
refrigerating engineering. It is rather difficult to assign a
definite temperature which serves to divide refrigerating
engineering from cryogenic engineering. A temperature below _lSOoC,
however, is generally associated with cryogenic engineering."
