When an ejector having a variable nozzle and a variable throttle mechanism are integrated together as an ejector module, a nozzle-side central axis CL1 and a decompression-side driving mechanism have a twisted positional relationship, if the nozzle-side central axis CL1 is defined as a central axis of a nozzle-side driving mechanism in a displacement direction in which the nozzle-side driving mechanism of the ejector having the variable nozzle displaces a needle valve, and the decompression-side central axis CL2 is defined as a central axis of a decompression-side driving mechanism in a displacement direction in which the decompression-side driving mechanism of the variable throttle mechanism displaces a throttle valve. When viewed from the central axis direction of one of the nozzle-side central axis CL1 and the decompression-side central axis CL2, a driving portion corresponding to the one central axis is disposed to overlap with the other central axis.

A jet pump housing is mountable to a hull of a personal watercraft. The jet pump housing comprises a body extending between an inlet and an outlet. The body has an inner wall delimiting an interior of the body and an outer wall. The inner wall and the outer wall are configured to be exposed to water during use of the personal watercraft. The body is shaped and sized to allow water to flow into the interior via the inlet and to expel water from the outlet. The body has one or more fluid passages positioned between the inner wall and the outer wall. The one or more fluid passages are fluidly isolated from the water and are in heat exchange relationship with the water via one or both of the inner wall and the outer wall.

A fan assembly including a base arranged to support the fan assembly on a surface, an air flow generator that is arranged to generate an air flow, and an air outlet that is arranged to emit at least a portion of the air flow from the fan assembly is provided. The air outlet is arranged to be oscillated relative to the base. The fan assembly further includes a controller that is arranged to control the oscillation of the air outlet relative to the base. The controller is arranged to vary an oscillation speed of the air outlet for each oscillation.

A blower is provided that may include a fan that creates airflow; a lower body forming an inner space in which the fan may be installed, and having at least one suction hole through which air passes; an upper body positioned above the lower body and including a first upper body forming a first inner space that communicates with the inner space of the lower body, and a second upper body forming a second inner space that communicates with the inner space of the lower body and spaced apart from the first upper body; a space formed between the first upper body and the second upper body and opened in a frontward-rearward direction; a first opening formed through a first boundary surface of the first upper body facing the space; a second opening formed through a second boundary surface of the second upper body facing the space; and a door assembly including a first door installed at the first upper body and that opens and closes the first opening, and a second door installed at the second upper body and that opens and closes the second opening.

A blower is disclosed. The blower of the present disclosure comprises: a fan for producing air flow; a lower body providing an inner space in which the fan is installed, and having an intake hole through which air passes; an upper body placed on the lower body to form a flow passage which communicates with the inner space of the lower body, and having a space which is formed to pass through the upper body in the forward and backward direction, wherein the upper body includes a slit which is formed through the upper body and through which air flowing through the flow passage of the upper body is discharged to the space, and the slit comprises: a rear slit adjacent to the rear end of the upper body; and a front slit adjacent to the front end of the upper body.

A dual direction vacuum apparatus for creating vacuum and purging obstructions from a vacuum port of the apparatus. The apparatus provides a housing having an air passageway, wherein the air passageway has a first end and a second end. A vacuum pressure inlet is formed in the housing and is adaptable to receive pressurized air from a pressurized air source to create vacuum in the vacuum port and establish a vacuum mode. A purge pressure inlet is formed in the housing and adaptable to receive pressurized air from a pressurized air source to direct pressurized air toward the vacuum port to establish a purge mode and dislodge any obstructions from the vacuum port.

A jet pump unit (46) includes a pump housing (49), a metering valve (1) with a valve housing (2), a mixer tube area (52), an intake channel (43) and a runoff area (45). A through-hole (2) that forms a through-opening (80) is designed in said pump housing (49). The metering valve (1) is received in the through-opening (80) and a first step (200) and a second step (202) are formed in said through-opening (80), radially with respect to a longitudinal axis (40) of the jet pump unit (46), for the purpose of radially centering and guiding the metering valve (1) in said pump housing (49).

The invention relates to a metering valve (1) for controlling a gaseous medium, in particular hydrogen, comprising a valve housing (2), wherein an interior space (3) is formed in the valve housing (2). A reciprocating closing element (10) is arranged in the interior space (3), which interacts with a valve seat (37) for opening or closing at least one passage channel (25). Furthermore, the metering valve (1) comprises a nozzle (11), the at least one passage channel (25) being formed in the nozzle (11) and the passage channel (25) having a circular-cylindrical portion.

A conveying unit (1) for a fuel cell system (31) for conveying and/or recirculating a gaseous medium, in particular hydrogen, comprising a jet pump (4) driven by a driving jet of a pressurized gaseous medium, and comprising a metering valve (6) with a nozzle (12), wherein: the conveying unit (1) is designed as a combined valve jet pump assembly (2); the gaseous medium is fed to the jet pump (4) by means of the metering valve (6); the jet pump (4) has a main body (8); and the jet pump (4) is connected to an anode inlet (3) of a fuel cell (29). According to the invention, a deflection and/or change of direction of the gaseous medium which flows in a flow direction VII from the jet pump (4) to the anode input (3) of the fuel cell (29) occurs exclusively in the deflection region (22), said the jet pump (4) having a separate closure cover (5) connected to the main body (8), and the deflection region (22) and/or the deflection- or guiding geometry of the deflection region for the gaseous medium (22) is formed exclusively in the component of the closing cover (5).
