F01P
COOLING OF MACHINES OR ENGINES IN GENERAL; COOLING OF INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES (arrangements in connection with cooling of propulsion units in vehicles B60K 11/00; heat-transfer, heat-exchange or heat-storage materials C09K 5/00;
{
cooling of gas-turbine engines F02C 7/12
}
; heat exchange in general, radiators F28)
NOTE
-
In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:
- "air" also includes other gaseous cooling fluids;
- "liquid cooling" also includes cooling where liquid is used as the heat transferring fluid
between parts to be cooled and the air, e.g. using radiators;
- "air cooling" means direct air cooling and thus excludes indirect air cooling occurring in
liquid cooling systems as explained herefore;
- "cooling-air" includes directly or indirectly acting cooling-air.

Attention is drawn to the notes preceding class F01, especially as regards Note (3).

Cooling by lubricant is classified in subclass F01M when the lubrication aspect predominates and in subclass F01P when the cooling aspect predominates.
