This Graphite and Teflon. vast experience allows S & K to handle virtually any jet ejector application—no matter how complex. Steam jet ejectors are used in the process, food, steel and allied industries in connection with such operations Steam Jet Ejectors are based on the ejector-venturi as filtration, distillation, absorption, mixing, vacuum principle. In operation, steam issuing through an packaging, freeze drying, dehydrating and degassing. expanding nozzle has its pressure energy converted to They will handle both condensable and non-condensable velocity energy. A vacuum is created, air or gas is gases and vapors as well as mixtures of the two. Small entrained and the mixture of gas and steam enters the amounts of solids or liquids will not cause operating venturi diffuser where its velocity energy is converted into problems. Accidental entrainment of liquid slugs can pressure sufficient to discharge against a predetermined cause momentary interruption in pumping, but no back pressure. damage to equipment. Jet vacuum ejectors are readily available in ductile iron, All S & K ejectors are computer designed and type-tested steel, stainless steel and, on special order, in many more to insure reliability.

Units can be made in practically any workable material to provide utmost The principal advantages of steam jet ejectors over other resistance to corrosion and erosion. Standard models are types of vacuum producing units are... supplied in a choice of materials as indicated in this LOW COST . Pumps of the ejector type are small in relation bulletin. to the work they do and their cost is low in comparison EASY INSTALLATION . Relatively light in weight, jet ejectors with other types of equipment. are easy to install, require no foundations. Even multi- No MOVING PARTS . These units have no moving parts to stage units are readily adaptable to existing conditions. adjust or repair. HIGH VACUUM PERFORMANCE . Steam jet ejectors can SIMPLE , C OMPACT CONSTRUCTION . Nothing could be handle air or other gases at suction pressures as low as simpler than a jet vacuum ejector. It consists of an three microns Hg. abs. expanding nozzle, a body, and a venturi (or diffuser). RELIABILITY . Because of their inherent simplicity, these pumps are reliable. Maintenance requirements are simple and are easily accomplished. 2 Schutte & Koerting • 2510 Metropolitan Drive • Trevose, PA 19053 • USA • tel: (215) 639-0900 • fax: (215) 639-1597 • www.s-k.com • [email protected] Steam Jet Ejectors Bulletin 5E-H 810 M Normal Design Discharge Pressure 1000 MM Performance Characteristics 9 8 7 6 5 The graph, Fig. 3, shows the relative suction 4 3 pressure capabilities of S & K Steam Jet 2 E 100 MM N Ejectors from single-stage through six-stage O 9 8 7 types.
