Steam Jet Ejector

E1000 Series

Primetech offers complete range of steam jet vacuum ejectors, steam jet syphon for various industrial vacuum applications.  Steam jet vacuum ejectors are like a compressor that utilizes high pressure steam as motive fluid to compress gas (suction) to atmospheric pressure from a sub atmospheric pressure (vacuum) at the suction of the system.  Compression of a single stage ejector is limited due to its inherent performance characteristics, jet ejectors are mostly staged by connecting the ejectors in series to produce higher vacuum at the inlet of the system.

The multistage system often incorporates condensers between X & Y stages and Y & Z stages and after Z stage to reduce motive steam consumption for the system and lower emissions to the atmosphere.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

High pressure motive steam when passed through the ejector nozzle, the steam expands through the nozzle which converts pressure to a high velocity jet of steam at the outlet of the nozzle.  This high velocity. Steam jet entrains and mixes with the suction gas and the combined flow passes through the venturi diffuser where the gas is compressed to an intermediate pressure between suction and motive pressures. 

 

Steam jet ejectors are capable of producing suction pressures up to 50 torr in single stage operation discharging to atmospheric pressure.  But in order to reduce the steam consumption, for vacuum requirements below 100 torr, generally multistage ejector system with condenser in between stages can be used.  Necessary barometric installation arrangements (11.5 mtrs. Baro leg) will need to be provided for gravity draining of condensate from inter-stage condensers.  If barometric installation is not possible due to site limitations, a low level operating system can be provided.
