DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE OF STAGED STEAM EJECTORS WITH INTERSTAGE CONDENSERS
Abstract
One-dimensional analysis was used to design a staged steam ejector system. The system gives experimental results that are within the predicted performance envelope. The differences between the experimental results and theoretical predictions are critically examined. It was concluded (1) that the design of spray condensers between the ejector stages has an important influence on the overall performance of the system, (2) that the best system performance was obtained when the ejectors were operated at equal primary flow rates, and (3) that the effect of the Mach number of the secondary flow in the region of the ejector steam jet can have a great influence on ejector performance.
