- As seen in
FIG. 1 , a prior art ejector includes a motive venturi, a suction chamber and a downstream diffuser. The motive venturi includes a converging section, a throat and a diverging section, wherein the suction chamber encompasses (and is thus fluidly exposed to) the open diverging end of the motive venturi. The suction chamber is fluidly exposed to a suction inlet and hence to a load gas and the diffuser. The diffuser is also a venturi and includes a converging section beginning in the suction chamber, a throat and a diverging section. - Generally, the ejector converts pressure energy, for example, a motive stream, into kinetic energy (velocity). Referring to
FIG. 1 , priorart steam ejectors 1 obtain the desired by velocity by the adiabatic expansion of the motive steam through a convergent and divergent section of themotive venture 3. As seen inFIG. 1 , the velocity of the motive steam continually increases as the motive steam passes along the divergent section of the motive venturi. The motive steam is typically expanded to the pressure of the load gas. The high velocity motive steam then passes into asuction chamber 5. The resulting high velocity, motive steam is then retarded in the suction chambers while the load steam is accelerated in the suction chamber and forms a mixture. - The mixture passes through the converging section, the throat and the diverging section of a
diffuser 7, wherein the high velocity is converted back into pressure. Thus, the mixture can be vented to atmospheric pressure, or additional ejectors can be employed to sufficiently raise the pressure to atmospheric pressure. - In certain applications, it is advantageous for the ejector to remove a certain ratio of motive gas to load gas. Historically, in sub critical flows, the ejectors are only able to provide a motive mass flow to load mass flow ratio of approximately 2.0. However, certain applications can be provided with increased efficiency, if the ratio of motive mass flow to load mass flow is on the order of 1.5. Therefore, the need exists for a compressible gas ejector that can reduce the ratio of motive gas mass flow to load gas mass flow.
- The present ejector provides a compressible gas ejector with an improved motive gas mass flow to load mass gas flow ratio.
- In one configuration, the present compressible gas ejector provides for the direct contact of unexpanded motive gas with the load gas. Depending upon the particular construction, the interface between the unexpanded motive gas and the load gas can be located in the suction chamber or a converging section of the diffuser.
- Contrary to prior teachings which suggest detrimental instability upon exposing unexpanded motive flow in the suction chamber, the present configuration provides stable mass flow rates, with the unexpanded motive gas directly mixing with the load gas.
- In a further configuration, the compressible gas ejector, includes a converging motive funnel, the motive funnel having a converging section being substantially free of a downstream diverging section; a suction chamber fluidly connected to the motive funnel; and a diffuser downstream of the suction chamber, the diffuser including a converging section and a downstream diverging section. In one configuration, a downstream end of the motive funnel is disposed within the converging section of the diffuser.

FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of a regulator for controlling flow through the motive funnel. -
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of an alternative regulator. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the presentcompressible gas ejector 10 is shown. For purposes of description, amotive gas 12 is introduced into the ejector to draw aload gas 14 into the ejector so as to form amixture 16, wherein the mixture exits theejector 10 at a downstream location. The term “motive gas” 12 is intended to encompass any of a variety of motive flows including steam, vapor or other compressible flows, as well as mixtures thereof. The term “load gas” 14 is intended to encompass any of a variety of load gases such as, but not limited to process by-products, combustion products or other compressible flows, or mixtures thereof. - The
ejector 10 includes a suction chamber, anupstream motive funnel 20 and adownstream diffuser 60, wherein themotive gas 12 passes through themotive funnel 20 and mixes with theload gas 14 from the suction chamber and is discharged through the diffuser. - As seen in
FIG. 2 , theupstream motive funnel 20 and thedownstream diffuser 60 extend along a longitudinal axis and are generally coaxial. As thesuction chamber 40 encompasses a portion of themotive funnel 20 and interfaces with thediffuser 60, the suction chamber also includes a dimension extending along the longitudinal axis. - Therefore, for definitional purposes, a component or portion of the
motive funnel 20 or thediffuser 60 can be described in terms of a “length” which is a dimension extending along the longitudinal axis. A width of a component is that dimension transverse to the longitudinal axis. - The
suction chamber 40 includes asuction inlet 42 fluidly connected to theload gas 14, which is to be drawn into theejector 10 and passed through thediffuser 60. - The
converging motive funnel 20 is fluidly connected to a source of the motive gas such as steam from a turbine discharge. Themotive funnel 20 includes anentrance port 22 and adownstream exit port 24, wherein the entrance port is larger than the exit port. Aconverging section 26 extends from theentrance port 22, and in selected configurations, terminates at theexit port 24. Thus, in contrast to prior ejectors, the presentconverging motive funnel 20 does not include a diverging portion, and thus presentsunexpanded motive gas 12 to theload gas 14. - In other configurations, the
motive funnel 20 can include a throat 30 downstream of theconverging section 26, wherein the throat defines a substantially constant cross-section along the longitudinal axis and terminates at theexit port 24 of the motive funnel. Typically, the throat 30 of themotive funnel 20 will have a length that is less than the length of theconverging section 26 of the motive funnel. In this construction, a downstream end of the throat 30 defines theexit port 24, and hence the downstream end of themotive funnel 20. - The
motive funnel 20 is selected to provide substantiallyunexpanded motive gas 1 2 at theexit port 24. Thus, the particular convergence within themotive funnel 20 is at least partially determined by the intended operating parameters. - In one satisfactory configuration, the diameter of the
entrance port 22 can be between approximately 1.85 to 2.25 times the diameter of theexit port 24. The inlet diameter of theentrance port 22 of the converging section of themotive funnel 20 can be greater than the length of the motive funnel. Typical angles for the converging section of themotive funnel 20 are between approximately 35° and approximately 80°, with at least one satisfactory angle of approximately 60°. - It is understood the
motive funnel 20, or the downstream end of the throat 30, can include a de minimis diverging taper 32, such as along a wall thickness of the funnel. That is, theexit port 24 can include a diverging flare on the order of less than 5% of the area of the exit port. However, such diverging taper 32 does not allow a material expansion of the motive gas. - In selected configurations as seen in
FIG. 3 , themotive funnel 20 includes aregulator 34 to effectively reduce the cross sectional area of theexit port 24 without changing pressure of the motive gas. Theregulator 34 thus provides for the selective reduction in the amount ofmotive gas 12 passing through themotive funnel 20. In one configuration, theregulator 34 moves relative to theexit port 24 to effectively change the cross sectional area of the exit port. Theregulator 34 is selected to substantially maintain the pressure drop along theejector 10, thereby maintaining efficiency of the ejector. - In one configuration of the
regulator 34, the regulator includes a generally taperedspike 36 which can be moved along the longitudinal axis towards and away from theexit port 24 of themotive funnel 20. Referring toFIG. 3 , thespike 36 can be curvilinear such as parabolic. In one configuration of theparabolic spike 36, the curvature is defined by the relation Y=√{square root over (0.008)}(x). In an alternative configuration, thespike 36 defines a conical cross-section, as seen inFIG. 4 . - The
diffuser 60 includes a convergingsection 62, athroat 64 and a diverging section 68. The convergingsection 62 includes aninlet 61 and adownstream outlet 63 coincident with thethroat 64. In contrast to prior ejectors, the presentdiffuser converging section 62 has a length that is less than an inlet diameter of the converging section. In certain constructions, the inlet diameter of the convergingsection 62 is on the order of twice the length of the convergingsection 62. Functionally, the diameter of theinlet 61 and the length of the convergingsection 62 are selected to substantially maintain a steady state operation of theejector 10 at the intended flow rates. - It is further contemplated, that in selected configurations, the diameter of the
inlet 61 of the convergingsection 62 is at least 1.5, and can be greater than twice the diameter of the outlet 63 (thethroat 64 of the diffuser 60). As the inlet diameter of the convergingsection 62 increases, the interface area between theload gas 14 and theunexpanded motive gas 12 increases, with the downstream end of themotive funnel 20 remaining within the length of the converging section of the diffuser. - In certain constructions, the diverging
section 66 of thediffuser 60 is longer than the convergingsection 62 of the diffuser, wherein the diverging section can be at least twice the length of the converging section. - As seen in
FIG. 2 , theexit port 24 of themotive funnel 20 is disposed within the inlet of the convergingsection 62 of thediffuser 60. That is, as the convergingsection 62 of thediffuser 60 extends along the longitudinal dimension, theexit port 24 is located within the same length of the longitudinal dimension. The amount of penetration of themotive funnel 20 into the convergingsection 62 of thediffuser 60 can range from approximately 1% of the length of the converging section to approximately 50% of the length of the converging section. - Therefore, a flow path of the
motive gas 12 passes through themotive funnel 20 and theexit port 24, to then enter the convergingsection 62 of thediffuser 60.Load gas 14 is drawn in through thesuction inlet 42 and mixes with themotive gas 12 in the convergingsection 62 of thediffuser 60 to form the entrainedmixture 16, wherein the entrained mixture passes through thediffuser 60 and increases pressure. - It has been found advantageous to employ the
present ejector 10 in a sub critical flow regime. That is, the pressure of themotive gas 12 is less than twice the pressure of theload gas 14. - Further, it has been found that the
motive funnel 20 can discharge themotive gas 12 into thesuction chamber 40, or the convergingsection 62 of thediffuser 60 at a pressure that is lower than theload gas 14. - While the invention has been described in connection with a presently preferred embodiment thereof, those skilled in the art will recognize that many modifications and changes may be made therein without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention, which accordingly is intended to be defined solely by the appended claims.
