DEFINITION

Classification: 96/397

WITH CONTROL MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SENSED CONDITION FOR CONTROL OF GAS FLOW OR NONGASEOUS CONSTITUENT DISCHARGE:

(under the class definition) Apparatus having means to sense a condition which may or may not occur, or a change in such condition or a lack of such a condition or the result of such a condition, the sensing means causing or permitting operation of a separate means for controlling, without the intervention of a human attendant, means to (1) regulate (e.g., divert, halt, or commence, etc.) the flow of a gaseous fluid mixture through the apparatus or part thereof or (2) regulate the movement from the apparatus of an accumulated separated constituent exclusive of that which may be retained in or on the separating media itself.

(1) Note. Time is not considered a "condition" in this definition. For separators with timing means see subclasses 424+.
