.~.~.~ With gas or vapor removing or treating means
DEFINITION
Classification: 204/196.08
With gas or vapor removing or treating means:
(under subclass 196.01) Apparatus having means for exhausting, separating, or otherwise treating a gas or vapor.
(1) Note. This subclass is intended to provide for means suited to minimize or alter an effect of the gas or vapor on the apparatus. The removing or treating means may be as simple as a vent on top of a closed vessel to allow dispersion of an unwanted gas or vapor into a surrounding atmosphere. However, the removing or treating means may be equipped to perform a chemical reaction to combine gaseous hydrogen and oxygen (generated during electrolysis) into water (vapor or liquid) by contact with a suitable catalyst.
