Notes |
|
(1) | In this subclass, the following terms or expresions are used with the meanings indicated: |
|
– | "air" also includes other gaseous cooling fluids; |
|
– | "liquid cooling" also includes cooling where liquid is used as the heat-transferring fluid between parts to be cooled and the air, e.g. using radiators; |
|
– | "air cooling" means direct air cooling and thus excludes indirect air cooling occurring in liquid cooling systems as explained under liquid cooling above; |
|
– | "cooling-air" includes directly- or indirectly-acting cooling-air. |
|
(2) | Attention is drawn to the Notes preceding class F 01, especially as regards Note (3). |
|
(3) | Cooling by lubricant is classified in subclass F 01 M when the lubrication aspect predominates, and in subclass F 01 P when the cooling aspect predominates. |
