HEAT EXCHANGE IN GENERAL

|  | F28 |
Note(s) Apparatus using heat exchange or heat transfer (as defined below) for specific purposes is classified either in sub-class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F28B or in the appropriate sub-classes of, for example, classes Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F22, Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F24, Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F25, Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F26, or Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F27; if no such other sub-class is appropriate, such apparatus is classified in sub-clas Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F28C or Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F28D. In this class, the following terms are used with the meanings indicated: "Heat exchange" means the heating or cooling of a fluid or fluent solid by direct or indirect contact with a heated or cooled fluid or fluent solid. "Heat transfer" means the heating or cooling of a fluid or fluent solid by direct contact with a heated or cooled surface or body.
