  • decompressing the air, which causes it to cool down

    losing temperature and changing phase due to decompression is not the same as what we colloquially call “cooling down”. What we call cooling down is a slowing of molecular kinetic energy by direct transfer of that energy to somewhere else. Decompression inhibits that transfer entirely by dramatically increasing the space between molecules.
