HEAT EXCHANGE IN GENERAL (heat-transfer, heat-exchange or heat-storage materials Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...C09K 5/00; arrangement or mounting of heat-exchangers in air-conditioning, air-humidification or ventilation Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F24F 13/30)

|  | F28 |
Note(s) In this class, the following expressions 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. Apparatus using heat exchange or heat transfer (as defined in Note (1) above) for specific purposes is classified either in subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F28B or in the appropriate subclasses 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 subclass is appropriate, such apparatus is classified in subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F28C or Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F28D.

STEAM OR VAPOUR CONDENSERS (condensation of vapours Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B01D 5/00; condensation during pretreatment of gases prior to electrostatic precipitation of dispersed particles Fulltext... Hierarchy...
