Best Answer

Liquifying nitrogen works by the refrigeration process done on air: 1)Air is purified and put into a pipe.

2)The air is condensed. Under the high pressure, the gas heats up.

3)The hot gas, still under pressure, is allowed to cool a bit.

4)The gas is released from pressure quickly. Not only does the gas cool, it cools below its original temperature.

5) The resulting gas is put back in to the cycle and the process begins again. Each cycle makes the gas colder. First oxygen drops out of the mix, and liquifies at -183C. Nitrogen liquifies soon after, at about -196C.
