COOPERATIVE PATENT CLASSIFICATION
B04C
APPARATUS USING FREE VORTEX FLOW, e.g. CYCLONES ({centrifugal separation of water from steam B01D 45/12;} jet mills B02C 19/06; {wind sifters B07B 7/00;} cyclonic type combustion apparatus F23; {vortex burners for cyclone-type combustion apparatus F23D 1/02; cyclonic type combustion apparatus for gas turbines F23R 3/00}) [2018-08]
NOTE

  • This subclass covers apparatus for separating, mixing or like treating in which centrifugal effects are generated by free vortex flow, otherwise than by rotary bowls, rotors or curved passages.
WARNING

  • In this subclass non-limiting references (in the sense of paragraph 39 of the Guide to the IPC) may still be displayed in the scheme.
