DEFINITION

Classification: 96/55

And serially arranged nonelectrical separator:

(under subclass 15) Apparatus having a separator other than an electric field separation apparatus arranged in the line of fluid flow.

(1) Note. This and indented subclasses do not provide for (a) baffle means for directing or spreading flow for distribution within the electric field separation apparatus or for contact with ionizing electrodes, or (b) electrodes modified to include baffling or flow distributing arrangements to direct a flowing stream. Such apparatus is more properly classified below.

(2) Note. This and indented subclasses do not include

interstitial, porous, or foraminous collector electrodes that provide means for simultaneously filtering and precipitating contaminants from a flowing stream. Such apparatus is more properly classified below.

(3) Note. This and indented subclasses will take serially arranged separators even broadly recited coming within the definition.
