COOPERATIVE PATENT CLASSIFICATION
F28B
STEAM OR VAPOUR CONDENSERS (condensation of vapours B01D 5/00; steam engine plants having condensers F01K; liquefaction of gases F25J; details of heat-exchange and heat-transfer arrangements of general application F28F) [2018-08]
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.
F28B 1/00
Condensers in which the steam or vapour is separate from the cooling medium by walls, e.g. surface condenser [2013-01]
F28B 1/02
.
using water or other liquid as the cooling medium [2013-01]
F28B 1/04
. .
employing moving walls [2013-01]
F28B 1/06
.
using air or other gas as the cooling medium [2013-01]
NOTE

  • This group covers also air cooled heat exchangers for which the use as condenser is not explicitly specified, but the configuration is similar to air cooled condensers, e.g. dry cooling towers
