A jet pump comprising a pump housing containing a jet nozzle and a throat diffuser nozzle. The jet nozzle is comprised of a jet nozzle insert disposed in an axial inner bore of a precision jet cylindrical body and formed of an ultra-hard material. The throat diffuser nozzle is comprised of a throat diffuser nozzle insert disposed in an axial inner bore of a precision throat diffuser cylindrical body and also formed of an ultra-hard material. The jet nozzle and throat diffuser nozzle are disposed in an elongated cylindrical central bore portion of a tubular side wall of the pump housing. In order to achieve highest concentricity of the axial inner bores, the axial inner bore of the jet nozzle insert and the axial inner bore of the throat diffuser nozzle insert are formed after placement in the precision cylindrical bodies.

A multistage ejector is provided for generating a vacuum from a source of compressed air. The compressed air is passed through a series of nozzles, which entrains air so as to form a jet flow in two or more stages and generating a vacuum across each stage. The ejector outlet is formed as a nozzle extending to the outlet end of the ejector and arranged to receive the jet flow from the final stage of the ejector. The ejector outlet nozzle includes a diverging section extending at an angle of divergence to the direction of airflow, the diverging section terminating in a stepwise expansion in the cross-sectional flow area, as viewed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of airflow through the ejector outlet nozzle.

A multi-stage ejector for generating a vacuum from a source of compressed air or fluid by passing the compressed air or fluid through a series of nozzles, accelerating and entraining the compressed air or fluid so as to form a jet flow in one or more stages and generate a vacuum across each stage. The multi-stage ejector may include a first drive stage; a second stage; and a converging-diverging nozzle provided in the series of nozzles between the first drive stage and the second stage. The multi-stage ejector, in use, may receive jet flow from the first drive stage, accelerate the jet flow to form a second stage air jet and direct the second stage air jet into an inlet of an outlet nozzle of the second stage. The converging-diverging nozzle may be formed in a molded nozzle piece mounted in the multi-stage ejector.

The invention provides an ejector for generating a vacuum, a drive nozzle for generating a drive jet of air from a compressed air source and directing the drive jet of air into an outlet flow passage at the outlet of a drive stage of the ejector to entrain air in a volume surrounding the jet of air into the jet flow to generate a vacuum across the drive stage. The drive nozzle substantially consists of an inlet flow section and an outlet flow section aligned in a direction of air flow through the nozzle. The outlet flow section diverging in the direction of airflow, from an outlet end of the inlet flow section to an exit of the nozzle, the outlet flow section having a shape which is more divergent near the outlet of the inlet flow section and less divergent near the exit of the nozzle.

Venturi devices and systems incorporating the same are disclosed. The Venturi devices include a lower body defining a passageway having a motive section and a discharge section spaced a distance apart from one another to define a first Venturi gap and a second Venturi gap downstream of the first Venturi gap at a position that divides the discharge section into a first portion between the first and second Venturi gaps and a second portion leading away from the second Venturi gap, and include an upper body defining a suction passageway in fluid communication with both the first and second Venturi gaps. The motive section and the discharge section converge toward the first Venturi gap.

The present invention relates to a vacuum ejector pump including a plurality of nozzles, which are assembled, and activated by compressed air passing through the nozzles at a high speed to generate a negative pressure in an outer surrounding space. The pump of the present invention includes an intermediate nozzle, a first nozzle on which a front-cover part inserted to an outer circumference of one end of the intermediate nozzle is formed, and a second nozzle on which a rear-cover part inserted to an outer circumference of the other end of the intermediate nozzle is formed. Here, the intermediate nozzle is disposed between the first nozzle and the second nozzle, and the intermediate nozzle, the first nozzle and the second nozzle constitute an ejector main body. The surrounding space communicates with each of the nozzles through a through-hole defined in a sidewall of the ejector main body and a slot defined between the nozzles. The through-hole is opened and closed in a sealing manner by a valve member having a properly designed shape.

An evacuator for supplying vacuum to a device in a boosted engine air system is disclosed. The evacuator defines a body comprising a converging motive section, a diverging discharge section, at least one suction port, and a Venturi gap located between an outlet end of the converging motive section and an inlet end of the diverging discharge section. A lineal distance is measured between the outlet end and the inlet end. The lineal distance is decreased in length if higher suction vacuum at a specific set of operating conditions is required and the lineal distances is increased in length if higher suction flow rate at the specific set of operating conditions is required.
