DEFINITION

Classification: 96/372

INCLUDING INLET MEANS FOR DIVERSE GAS OR SOLID FOR GAS TREATMENT:

(under the class definition) Apparatus providing inflow means for a nonliquid material other than a gaseous fluid mixture that is to be separated, the nonliquid material commingling or mixing with and effecting a change of the gaseous fluid mixture, but not including inflow of ambient air for purposes of pressure relief or addition of air for mere flow induction of the gaseous fluid mixture.

(1) Note. Steam used for the purpose of induction flow of the gaseous fluid mixture is regarded as a nonliquid material under this definition.

(2) Note. If a treated gaseous fluid mixture is discharged into an enclosure (e.g., room, etc.) and then a portion thereof enters the apparatus through a recirculation inlet to be mixed with the gaseous fluid mixture entering through the normal inlet, the portion is considered as a nonliquid material other than gaseous fluid mixture under this definition.
