F26B 3/08

so as to loosen them, e.g. to form a fluidised bed

Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Drying solid materials or objects by processes involving the application of heat > by convection, i.e. heat being conveyed from a heat source to the materials or objects to be dried by a gas or vapour, e.g. air > the gas or vapour flowing through the materials or objects to be dried > so as to loosen them, e.g. to form a fluidised bed

CPC:

Drying solid materials or objects by processes involving the application of heat (in specific machines or apparatus F26B9/00 - F26B19/00) > by convection, i.e. heat being conveyed from a heat source to the materials or objects to be dried by a gas or vapour, e.g. air > the gas or vapour flowing through the materials or objects to be dried (F26B3/14 takes precedence) > so as to loosen them, e.g. to form a fluidised bed

Of 5 combined children, 4 exist in both systems.

1 codes are CPC-only extensions.

IPC defines codes here since 1990.
