DEFINITION

Classification: 96/60

Including gas flow distribution means:

(under subclass 15) Apparatus having means or arrangements to direct, guide, or limit (including stopping or redirecting) gas flow within the apparatus.

(1) Note. The combination of electric field separation apparatus and a pump for merely causing gas to flow through the apparatus has not been recognized as flow distribution and is not specifically provided for in this section of the class.

(2) Note. This subclass and the subclasses indented hereunder are intended to provide for flow distribution means comprising (a) baffles and deflectors of all types and (b) other structures or fixtures besides flow conduits or the apparatus casing which are intentionally included or positioned to affect flow distribution or which would present a major inherent restriction to gas flow.
