DEFINITION

Classification: 62/238.1

DISPARATE APPARATUS UTILIZED AS HEAT SOURCE OR ABSORBER:

(under the class definition) Apparatus in which (a) the heat of a disparate apparatus as an energy source for a refrigeration producer, or (b) the rejected heat of a refrigeration producer is used to heat a disparate apparatus.

(1) Note. A disparate apparatus herein is a nonrefrigerating or cooling means having a function other than merely serving as an energy source for the refrigeration producer.
