F 23 BCOMBUSTION APPARATUS USING ONLY SOLID FUEL (for lump and another kind of fuel simultaneously or alternatively F23C 1/00; fluidised bed combustion apparatus F23C 10/00; burning of low-grade fuel F23G; grates F23H; feeding solid fuel to combustion apparatus F23K; constructional details of combustion chambers not otherwise provided for F23M; domestic apparatus F24; central heating boilers F24D; package boilers F24H)


Note

 This subclass covers only the combustion of lump fuel, or of pulverulent or granulated fuel if no use is made of its fluent nature.
