It is a jet pump for transporting liquids, lifting or elevating water, and exhausting air or gases. It operates by utilizing steam pressure to create a vacuum (venturi), facilitating the transfer of fluids or the priming of centrifugal pumps. With steam-powered systems, it can be used for fluid movement over distance or elevation.

It uses steam to create a high-velocity jet that forms a vacuum, drawing liquid or gas into the system. When used with steam, it can transport liquids, elevate water, or exhaust air or gases. The pressure from the steam jet creates a liquid flow from one location to another, overcoming gravitational forces when lifting liquids or gases.

Lift refers to the distance from the ejector to the surface of the liquid being pumped, i.e., the vertical distance the liquid needs to be lifted. Whereas elevation refers to the horizontal or vertical distance the ejector can move the liquid from one level to another.

While air can be used in some cases to exhaust gases and create a partial vacuum, it cannot be used to elevate water. This is because air does not mix with water, which prevents the water from being moved through the ejector. Steam is necessary for lifting water due to its ability to create the required pressure and vacuum.

The maximum lift range is from 3 to 7.5 meters and elevation range is from 12 to 18 meters, depending on the steam pressure. When the ejector is placed no more than 3 feet (approximately 1 meter) above the water's surface, it can elevate the liquid to 18-36 meters, proportional to the steam pressure.

The ejector is adequate for transporting most liquids, provided they are not too thick or viscous. The higher the viscosity, the less efficient the ejector becomes, as thick liquids may not flow smoothly through the system. Liquids with high viscosity or suspended solids need to be pretreated or filtered.

The ejector should be installed no more than 3 feet (approximately 1 meter) above the water's surface to achieve optimal performance. When operating with a lift of 3 meters or more, installing a foot valve on the lower end of the suction pipe is advisable to maintain efficient operation and prevent air ingress.

Higher steam pressure can enable the ejector to achieve more significant lift and elevation. For instance, with pressures ranging from 27 to 45 kg, the ejector can elevate liquids to 18 meters and 7.5 meters, depending on the configuration and system conditions.

A foot valve ensures the ejector system maintains a continuous liquid flow by preventing backflow and air from entering the suction line. Without a foot valve, air may be drawn in when the system is under suction, disrupting the operation and reducing efficiency.

Our Bronze Steam Ejectors come in sizes No. 1 to No. 8, each corresponding to different flow capacities and operating specifications. The size selection depends on the distance to be covered, the lift required, and the steam pressure available.

Yes, the ejector can be used to transport various liquids, provided they are not too thick or corrosive. However, the ejector's material (bronze) may limit its compatibility with highly acidic or corrosive fluids. Please always check compatibility with the specific fluid being used. If you are not sure about compatibility, please contact our customer support team for guidance.

Yes, the Bronze Steam Ejector is commonly used for priming centrifugal pumps. It creates a vacuum to evacuate air from the pump casing, allowing the pump to start working and transport liquids effectively.
