DEFINITION

Classification: 55/342.2

Heat exchanger is part of separator or is contiguous therewith:

(under subclass 342.1) Apparatus in which a conduit or flow conductor, which permits passage of a nonsystem fluid proximate to but not in direct contact with at least a portion of a bounded gaseous fluid mixture or separated constituent to effect heat exchange therebetween, is structurally associated with the bounded gaseous fluid mixture or separated constituent at or proximate to the locus of separation so that the temperature of the bounded gaseous fluid mixture is affected at the separator.
