Steam jet liquid ejector

Steam Jet liquid ejectors or steam jet Syphons operate on the steam jet principle utilising the energy of steam under pressure to pump, mix liquids and handle solid.The steam jet emerging from the motive nozzle at high velocity transmits its kinetic energy to the liquid, mixes with it and condenses. In this way, the liquid is conveyed and its pressure is increased at the same time. Steam Jet Syphons are especially well suited for processes where heating is required in addition to pumping since the pumping is accomplished for the cost of the heating. These pumps operate like a steam jet vacuum pump and evacuate the suction pipelines. They are, therefore, self-priming.

Advantages:

No other pumping & mixing device offers all these outstanding features:

• Low Cost – Units are small in relation to the work they do and cost is correspondingly low.
• Self Priming – Syphons are self-priming. They operate equally well in continuous or intermittent service.
• No Moving Parts – Syphons are exceedingly simple and reliable. There are no moving parts to wear or break in a basic syphon. Even when equipped with accessories such as regulating spindles, snap valves, float mechanisms, they require little attention, only periodic inspection and maintenance.
• Corrosion and Erosion Resistant – Because they can be made of practically any workable material, or coated with corrosion-resistant materials, syphons can be made highly resistant to the actions of the liquids handled or the environment in which located.
• Safe – Syphons can be used in hazardous locations where electrically operated alternates would require explosion proofing at considerable cost.
• Versitile – Various piping arrangements permit adapting to environmental conditions. Syphons of various types can handle granular solids, semi-solids, and slurries without contamination.
• Automatically Controlled – Units can be adapted for automatic control by means of a pressure liquid regulating spindle or a snap-valve and float arrangement.
• Perform Double Duty – Syphons mix motive and suction liquids intimately while pumping against a counter pressure.
• Heating – Syphons are especially suited to applications where heating is required in addition to pumping since the pumping is accomplished for the cost of the heating.
• Easy to Install – Connections can be made to suit your piping requirements. Little space is required to accommodate units and they are normally so light in weight they can be supported by the piping to which they are attached.
