Ah! That makes a lot more sense.

The only trouble with using a gas like co2 that liquefies easily is that once you reach that point (850psi) you pretty much can't go any farther. And they are running this thing at a much higher pressure than that - about 4500.

I'm sure there are gases that would liquefy at this pressure, but none that you would want to release into the atmosphere.
