A powder jet pump that is effective for creating a smoothly flowing gas stream with well dispersed particles.

A Venturi type ejector having a feed duct for feeding fluid under pressure with the duct extending along a central axis. A first expansion chamber is connected to the feed duct; a first mixing chamber is connected to the expansion chamber; a first suction chamber is connected to the mixing chamber; and an exhaust chamber is connected to the first mixing chamber. The ejector where the fluid under pressure penetrates into the first expansion chamber along a plurality of directions extends in a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the central axis. A vacuum generator includes such an ejector.

An ejector is presented. The ejector includes a primary fluid inlet to receive a primary fluid. The ejector further includes a secondary fluid inlet to receive a secondary fluid. Furthermore, the ejector includes a nozzle fluidly coupled to the primary fluid inlet and the secondary fluid inlet. The nozzle includes a secondary pilot inlet to receive at least a portion of the secondary fluid from the secondary fluid inlet, and a nozzle outlet including a plurality of primary openings for discharging the primary fluid and a secondary opening for discharging the secondary fluid. A turbo-machine having the ejector is also presented.

An ejector includes an inner nozzle, an outer nozzle internally provided with the inner nozzle, and an outer injection port between the inner nozzle and the outer nozzle. The ejector is operated to suck a target fluid by negative pressure generated by a working fluid injected from the inside of the inner nozzle or/and the outer injection port, and discharge the target fluid merged with the working fluid. The ejector further includes a nozzle guide placed in the gap between the inner nozzle and the outer nozzle and configured to restrict the interval of the outer injection port.

An ejector and a refrigeration system. The ejector includes: a high-pressure fluid passage extending from a high-pressure fluid inlet to a mixing chamber; a suction fluid passage extending from a suction fluid inlet to the mixing chamber, a first valve being disposed in the suction fluid passage; the mixing chamber, which includes a mixed fluid outlet; and a thermal bulb arranged in the suction fluid passage downstream of the first valve; wherein an elastic diaphragm is disposed in the suction fluid passage, the suction fluid passage is on a first side of the elastic diaphragm, and a closed cavity is on a second side of the elastic diaphragm; the thermal bulb is in communication with the closed cavity, and the thermal bulb and the closed cavity are filled with fluid.

The invention relates to a jet pump unit (46) comprising 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), wherein 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).

Slip joint clamps seat on a diffuser end via external features of the diffuser, like guide ears, regardless of slip joint wear or damage. The clamps can be opened and closed to surround an inlet mixer forming a slip joint with the diffuser without disassembly. Slip joint clamps drive or bias the inlet mixer in a lateral direction largely perpendicular to the axial orientation and end of the diffuser to achieve a desired preload force in the inlet mixer and clamp connection. Clamp arms include rotatable halves that, when joined, form a complete fill between an inner surface of the diffuser and outer surface of the inlet mixer. A lateral drive pushes the inlet mixer against the clamp and may include a resistive element. An accessible set of guide ear bolts and lateral driving bolts permit exterior manipulation to axially mount or laterally bias the clamp in the slip joint.

Nozzles mix coolant from different sources together in an outlet to prevent differences in coolant output. Different flow path configurations are useable in the nozzle, including a multiple-path configuration with flows from different sources jacketed or concentrically arranged around flows from other sources. Swirl vanes may be installed in the nozzle to impart mixing or filtering the fluid flow. Diffusers may be used to passively suction or accelerate flow and mixing the same like a jet pump. Nozzles can be combined with filtration systems like trap filters that capture debris based on a momentum difference between the denser debris and fluid. Filters can use magnetic, adhesive, or porous materials to capture debris without blocking a flow path. Filters can be disengaged, such as when clogged, such that coolant flows around the system. Nozzles can be installed on feedwater sparger assemblies in varying manner to distribute coolant from multiple nozzles.

A nozzle module for an energy converter, in particular for a power plant, including a first nozzle for the introduction of a motive fluid into a mixing chamber and an introduction opening for the introduction of a suction fluid into the mixing chamber, the mixing chamber having a geometry for merging the motive fluid and the suction fluid in the mixing chamber in a flow-intensifying manner. To specify a nozzle module which effects an increase in efficiency of the power plant, a vapor pressure of the motive fluid upstream of the first nozzle is lower than a vapor pressure of the suction fluid upstream of the introduction opening, and a gas pressure in the mixing chamber in a region downstream of the first nozzle is lower than a gas pressure in the mixing chamber in a region downstream of the introduction opening.

An apparatus and method relating to a generator comprising a housing defining an interior and fluidly separating the interior from surrounding ambient air, at least one of a rotor or stator located within the housing, a cooling circuit passing through at least a portion of the housing to cool the interior and recirculating a coolant having a density greater than the ambient air, and a jet pump having a motive fluid conduit fluidly coupled to the cooling circuit, a transport fluid circuit fluidly coupled to the ambient air.
