Venturi vacuum drawback assemblies and dual orifice venturi valve assemblies
Embodiments described herein are generally directed to a venturi valve. The venture valve includes an inlet; an outlet opposite of the inlet; a passage, a primary orifice, and an insert. The passage is positioned between the inlet and the outlet and fluidly coupling the inlet to the outlet. The primary orifice is positioned between the inlet and the outlet and in fluid communication with the passage such that the primary orifice permits fluid to enter the passage. The insert is positioned between the inlet and the outlet, the insert configured to enclose at least a portion of the passage.

Air conditioner
Embodiments disclosed herein may provide an air conditioner having a case and a cover coupled to the case. A cover separation unit may separate the cover from the case at upper and lower sides. The cover separation unit may include a lever that slides along an outer surface of the case and a pusher rotatably coupled to the lever to rotate to push the cover. A guide may guide the pusher to rotate as the pusher is moved along an outer surface of the case.
Submersible water lifting assembly and automatic fire fighting system for unmanned platforms having said system
The technology relates to a submersible water lifting assembly and automatic fire fighting system for unmanned platforms having said system (1) that is efficient yet simple to install, energy saving, noise free and economical. The submersible water lifting assembly can comprise a High flow Ratio ejector Pump (30/30A) that utilizes under water arrangements of unmanned platform and enables the fire-fighting system to efficiently lift water from the sea water; using the force of existing water injection system; eliminating the requirement of diesel engine driven pump, for lifting the water. It avoids fire risk of the safety system itself, even in conditions of a large fire, unlike that of the prior art.
Pneumatic suction device, pneumatic sanding system implementing such a device and corresponding facility
A pneumatic suction device including a suction nozzle connected to a suction unit and at least one air amplification module located in at least one hose for connecting said suction nozzle to the suction unit. The at least one air amplification module includes at least two air amplifiers operating according to a Coanda effect.
Multistage aspirator for inflatable assemblies
A multistage aspirator for an inflatable assembly may comprise a first end defining a primary gas inlet and a second end defining a gas outlet. An internal surface of the multistage aspirator may define a flow path extending from the primary gas inlet to the gas outlet. A first stage of the multistage aspirator may include a first stage orifice extending from the internal surface to an external surface of the multistage aspirator. A second stage of the multistage aspirator may include a second stage orifice located downstream of the first stage orifice and extending from the external surface to the internal surface.
Ejector
An ejector includes a nozzle, a needle and a body. The nozzle reduces a pressure of a fluid and discharges the fluid as an injected fluid from a fluid injection port. The body includes a fluid suction port and a pressure increasing portion. The fluid suction port draws, as a suction fluid, a fluid from an outside of the body by using a suction force generated by the injected fluid. The pressure increasing portion increases a pressure of a mixture of the injected fluid and the suction fluid. The nozzle includes a throat portion and a nozzle-side tapered portion. The throat portion reduces a passage cross-sectional area of the fluid passage to be smallest in the fluid passage at the throat portion. The nozzle-side tapered portion expands the passage cross-sectional area of the fluid passage toward the downstream side in the flow direction of the fluid. In an axial cross section, an injection-flow spread angle formed on the downstream side in the flow direction of the fluid between a central axis and a tangent line of an injection-flow center line at the fluid injection port is 0° or greater.

EJECTOR HAVING TWO-STAGE NOZZLE STRUCTURE
An ejector has a two-stage nozzle structure. The ejector is installed on a fuel cell recirculation line to supply new hydrogen and a recirculation gas. The ejector includes a housing having a first orifice defined therein and a poppet that is disposed in the housing and having a second orifice defined therein. A damage prevention member is disposed on a surface of the poppet to contact an inner surface of the housing, in which the damage prevention member contacts or is separated from the inner surface of the housing based on a pressure applied to the poppet.
Flow restricting slip joint clamps and methods for use in a nuclear reactor jet pump
Clamps can be secured to a slip joint and limit flow through the same by seating on a diffuser axially regardless of wear and damage in the slip joint. An extension from the clamp seats to the inlet mixer. These extensions can be adjusted from outside the clamp to achieve an individual preload or flow limitation through the slip joint. The extension may be an O-ring or other shape. A biasing drive may connect to and move the extension from an outside surface of the clamp. The biasing drive may include a threaded cap in an outer groove that is linked to a plunger via a spring. Clamps are fabricated of materials that maintain their physical properties when exposed to an operating nuclear reactor environment and may be relatively rigid and resilient metals.
