EJECTORS EJECTOR THEORY Steam ejectors are designed to convert the pressure energy of a motivating fluid to velocity energy to entrain suction fluid … and then to recompress the mixed fluids by converting velocity energy back into pressure energy. This is based on the theory that a properly designed nozzle followed by a properly designed throat or venturi will economically make use of high pressure fluid to compress from a low pressure region to a higher pressure. This change from pressure head to velocity head is the basis of the jet vacuum principle. Ejectors are generally categorized into one of four basic types: single-stage, multi-stage non-condensing, multi-stage condensing and multi-stage with both condensing and non- condensing stages. Single-stage ejectors (shown below) are the simplest and most commonly used design. They are generally recommended for pressure from atmospheric to 3” Hg. Abs. Single- stage units typically discharge at or near atmospheric pressure. Multi-stage non-condensing ejectors (shown below) are used where lower suction pressures are specified. Steam consumption in these units is relatively high as each successive stage is required to handle the load and motive steam of the stage ahead of it. These designs are frequently used where a low first cost is more important than operating economy, for intermittent use or for applications where water is not available. Multi-stage condensing ejectors are available in two or more stages. An inter-condenser of either the surface or direct-contact type is used between the stages to condense steam from the preceding stage and reduce load. This design is generally recommended for suction pressures from 4.0” Hg. Abs. to 0.5” Hg. Abs. in two-s
