EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A TRIPLE-JET GAS EJECTOR,
Abstract
An experimental study was made of a three-jet gas ejector in an attempt to improve ejector efficiency. The three-jet ejector consists of a converging nozzle for the high pressure gas and an annular nozzle for the low-pressure gas, and is similar to a conventional ejector; it is, however, also equipped with a tube in the center of the converging nozzle through which part of the low-pressure gas is introduced. Plots were obtained for the dependence of the compression ratio on the pressure drop in the forechamber, at various positions of the central tube, and with the converging nozzles having diameter ratios of 0.55, 0.45, and 0.35. The results showed that a compression ratio of 31 and a pressure drop of 240 can be obtained in the three-jet ejector when the outlet of the central tube is located in the minimum pressure zone. This compares very favorably with the 5.6 and 42.5 values obtained in a conventional ejector. By using a start-up control in which the central tube outlet is gradually moved into the minimum pressure zone, a compression ratio of 44 and a pressure drop of 340 can be obtained. The overall results indicate that the operation of a conventional ejector can be substantially improved by installing a central tube for the low-pressure gas. (Author)
