The effect of the secondary 
vaporization of the liquid after it's been liquified from gas during the continuous decompression or cooling (or both). of gas condensation during the isothermal decompression.

The effect is counter-intuitive as most practical fluids experience decrease in density under isothermal decompressionThe term is misnomer as it actually means vaporization which is opposite to condensation.

The most popular practical example of Retrograde Condensation behaviour is low-density alkanes. Natural Gas with initial temperature higher than pseudo-critical but lower than Cricondentherm
