In thermodynamics, a throttling process, also called a [[Joule-Thomson effect|Joule-Thomson process]], is a type of [[isenthalpic process]] where a liquid or gas is cooled as it passes from a higher pressure state to a lower pressure state.

This precessprocess is especially very important in field of refrigration where refrigrant passes from higher pressure to lower pressure alomg with the corresponding decrease in temperature.
