The effect of gas condensation during the isothermal decompression.

The effect is counter-intuitive as most practical fluids experience decrease in density under isothermal decompression.

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