Carl Paul Gottfried 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.
These breakthroughs laid the backbone for the 1913 Nobel Prize in Physics that was awarded to Heike Kamerlingh Onnes.
Linde was a member of scientific and engineering associations, including being on the board of trustees of the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
Linde was also the founder of what is now known as Linde plc, the world's largest industrial gases company, and ushered the creation of the supply chain of industrial gases as a profitable line of businesses.
He was knighted in 1897 as Ritter von Linde.
Carl von Linde invented the first reliable and efficient compressed-ammonia refrigerator in 1876.
