Carl Paul Gottfried von Linde (11 June 1842 – 16 November 1934) was a German scientist, engineer, and businessman. He discovered a refrigeration cycle and invented the first industrial-scale air separation and gas liquefaction processes, which led to the first reliable and efficient compressed-ammonia refrigerator in 1876.
Carl von Linde was a German engineer whose invention of a continuous process of liquefying gases in large quantities formed a basis for the modern technology of refrigeration and provided both impetus and means for conducting scientific research at low temperatures and very high vacuums.

How did Carl von Linde capture oxygen?
Carl von Linde was the first person to extract oxygen gas from the air, making it a commercially viable product and thus launching the industrial gas industry. He also developed modern refrigeration. Diagram of a Linde ice machine , ca. 1924.
The hourly yield from this experiment was approx. three litres of liquid air. Linde based his experiment on findings discovered by J. P. Joule and W. Thomson (1852). They found that compressed air expanded in a valve cooled down by approx. 0.25°C with each bar of pressure drop.
