Does anyone know what pressure air has to be compressed too so that the JT effect causes the air to liquify? I am running a simulation and I have the pressure up to 9000 psig and 0F and the drop in temp is only to -125F. The requisite temp to liquify air is ~ -320F from my simulation results. I can't imagine a 9000 psig compressor is very affordable but I am not sure if my simulator is telling me the truth or does the Linde process really have exotic compression in order to JT to a liquid?
