Steam Jet Ejectors for the Process Industries

Steam Jet Ejectors for the Process Industries - Robert B. Power (McGraw-Hill, 2005).pdf

A steam ejector is a simple device that uses pressurized steam to create a partial vacuum inside an enclosed system by pumping gases and vapours out of the system. This text provides a comprehensive review of steam jet ejector technology and presents a wide range of methods for achieving maximum performance. It explains how different ejectors are installed, how they operate, and how they are tested and maintained. The basic theories and practical information presented in this book should give chemical and mechanical engineers as well as technicians the answers to their questions about how to achieve maximum performance in utilizing steam jet vacuum pumps. It also offers information about other mechanisms, such as steam jet refrigeration, gas jet compressors, and the various utility ejectors which use water, air, steam, or other fluids for pumping, conveying and mixing tasks
