A thermodynamic process in which a fluid is passed through a device that restricts its flow (such as a valve or capillary coil) and subsequently allowed to expand adiabatically and isenthalpically, resulting in a sudden change in temperature. Cf. Joule-Thomson n.This process is used in refrigeration and air conditioning. When a liquid refrigerant is allowed to expand after restriction, its pressure falls, its boiling point is lowered, and sudden evaporation occurs. The energy needed for the adiabatic expansion of the resulting vapour is drawn from the liquid refrigerant, leading to its cooling. ΚΠ 1892 R. Carpenter Text-bk. Exper.
