DEFINITION

Classification: 165/104.11

INTERMEDIATE FLUENT HEAT EXCHANGE MATERIAL RECEIVING AND DISCHARGING HEAT:

(under the class definition) Apparatus in which a retained body of material forming part of the apparatus acts as a heat storage or carrier means for the apparatus and flows from an area where heat is added to an area where heat is removed.

(1) Note. The flowing material of this and the indented subclasses may serve to retain heat and transport that heat to another location.

(2) Note. A heat carrier means is continuous in operation

so that at any time a given amount of heat is added and an equal amount of heat is removed. A heat storage means is intermittent in operation so that heat may be added at a different rate than it is removed.

(3) Note. Application of heat to one location of a stationary mass of fluid will effect flow of the fluid.

4+, for heating a retained solid mass to the liquid state without flow thereof; and for heat transfer to solid material that is caused to move nonfluently.

236, for automatic control of heat storage in a heating and cooling system. SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

62, Refrigeration,

430+, for refrigerating apparatus including an intermediate fluid container transferring heat to a heat absorber or holdover.

126, Stoves and Furnaces, for a heat source combined with means to retain a body of flowable material to distribute the heat to another location.

201, Distillation: Processes, Thermolytic,

10+, for a process in which hot fluent material, part of the apparatus, is used to carbonize carbonaceous material.

252, Compositions,

67+, for a composition to be used as a heat transfer agent.
