Steam Jet Ejectors for the Process Industries (McGraw-Hill Chemical Engineering)

A steam jet ejector is a simple device that uses pressurized steam to create a partial vacuum inside an enclosed system by pumping gases and vapors out of the system. This, the first comprehensive review of steam jet ejector technology, presents a wide range of methods for achieving maximum performance. The book fully 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 using a minimum of engineering jargon, will give chemical and mechanical engineers as well as technicians the answers to their questions about how to achieve maximum performance in utilizing 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.
