DEFINITION

Classification: 34/72

(under the class definition) Apparatus coming including means

to treat the gas or vapor which either contacts or is evolved from the solid material undergoing treatment.

(1) Note. When heating of the gas or vapor that contacts the solid is the only treating means the patent is classified with appropriate type of apparatus.

(2) Note. Means to mix treating gases or vapors of the same kind though differing in physical characteristics are placed with the appropriate type of apparatus. If the gases or vapors are recirculated with the addition to or replacement thereof the patents are placed in the various subclasses for recirculation of treating gases or vapors; see (1) Note to subclass 219.

(3) Note. For means for cooling gases or vapors by refrigeration see search notes below.

(4) Note. For other gas or vapor treatment, see the search notes below.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS: 280+, for feather treating. Many of these devices inject steam and also separate dust, etc., from the exhaust gases.

467+, for processes involving treatment of gas or vapor.

524, particularly subclasses 526+, 548, and 557, for automatic control combinations.
