STEAM OR VAPOUR CONDENSERS

Introduced: September 1968

Classification Context

Section:: MECHANICAL ENGINEERING; LIGHTING; HEATING; WEAPONS; BLASTING
Class:: HEAT EXCHANGE IN GENERAL
Subclass:: STEAM OR VAPOUR CONDENSERS

Description

F28B covers apparatus and systems designed to condense steam or other vapors into liquid form through heat exchange processes. The subclass encompasses condenser designs for power generation cycles, refrigeration systems, industrial processes, and related applications where vapor condensation is required. Specific technologies include surface condensers, contact condensers, air-cooled condensers, and specialized designs for vacuum or atmospheric pressure operation. Related heat exchangers for non-condensation applications are classified under F28D and other sibling classes within F28.
