Note

Attention is drawn to the Notes preceding class F 01, especially as regards the definitions of "steam" and "special vapour".

Steam accumulators (use of accumulators in steam engine plants F 01 K 3/00)

for storing steam otherwise than in a liquid

for storing steam in a liquid, e.g. Ruth type (in alkali to increase steam pressure F 22 B 1/20)

Internal fittings facilitating steam distribution, steam formation, or circulation (acting during charging or discharging F 01 K 1/08; fittings facilitating circulation through multiple accumulators F 01 K 1/14)

Charging or discharging of accumulators with steam (peculiar to multiple accumulators F 01 K 1/12)

specially adapted for superheated steam

Multiple accumulators; Charging, discharging, or regulating peculiar thereto

Circulation

Other safety or regulating means

for steam pressure

Other steam-accumulator parts, details, or accessories

Steam engine plants

Plants characterised by the use of steam or heat accumulators, or intermediate steam heaters, therein (regenerating exhaust steam F 01 K 19/00)

Use of accumulators and specific engine types; Regulating thereof

the engine being of multiple-inlet-pressure type

the engine being of extraction or non-condensing type

Use of accumulators, the plant being specially adapted for a specific use

for vehicle drive, e.g. for accumulator locomotives

having two or more accumulators

having both steam accumulator and heater, e.g. superheating accumulator (steam superheaters per se F 22 G)

Mutual arrangement of accumulator and heater

having heaters (having both steam accumulator and heater F 01 K 3/14; steam heaters per se F 22)

with heating by combustion gases of main boiler

Controlling, e.g. starting, stopping

with heating by separately-fired heaters

with heating by steam

Plants characterised by use of means for storing steam in an alkali to increase steam pressure, e.g. of Honigmann or Koenemann type

used in regenerative installation

Plants characterised by the use of specific types of engine (F 01 K 3/02 takes precedence); Plants or engines characterised by their use of special steam systems, cycles, or processes (reciprocating-piston engines using uniflow principle F 01 B 17/04); Regulating means peculiar to such systems, cycles, or processes; Use of withdrawn or exhaust steam for feed-water heating

the engines being of multiple-expansion type (the engines being only of turbine type F 01 K 7/16; the engines using steam of critical or over-critical pressure F 01 K 7/32; the engines being of extraction or non-condensing type F 01 K 7/34)
