Air Ejector works on the principle of convergent or divergent nozzle as it provides the venturi effect at the point of diffusion as the tube gets narrows at the throat the velocity of the fluid increases and because of the venturi affect it pressure decreases, vacuum will occur in the diffuser throat where the suction line will be provided. An air ejector which uses the high pressure motive fluid such as air or steam to flow through the convergent nozzle the function of the convergent nozzle is to convert the pressure energy of the motive fluid into the velocity energy. Air ejectors on a ship help in removing air blocks from the ship's feed water system. There are several types of air ejectors used on ships. The article describes as to how an air ejector works and what are its important parts are. Removing any amount of trapped air from working systems on a ship is an essential task. Trapped air is mainly found in systems which deal with carrying steam and vapours. Air in the system not only leads to loss of differential pressure across the system but also to many harmful conditions in the long term. One such system on ship wherein air is commonly found is the feed water system. To eradicate the problem of trapped air from feed water system, air ejectors are used. Air ejector is an essential component of any type of feed system on the ship. As the name suggests, the equipment completely removes the air from any system and also draws out the vapours released from the condensing steam in the condenser. Presence of air in the system leads to several detrimental effects on the boiler. Corrosion is one such effect that in long run results is failure of the boiler from the inside. Also, the accumulation of air inside the condenser affects the condensing process, which results in the production of back pressure. The back pressure thus generated leads to increase in exhaust steam pressure and reduction in thermal efficiency of the plant.
All ejectors operate on a common principle. They entrain air or other fluids in a high velocity jet of propelling air, steam, water or other fluid. And they use the kinetic energy in the high velocity stream of that fluid to push back the atmosphere from the discharge of the ejector. This would suggest that the higher the velocity of the jet from the nozzle of the ejector, the greater the pressure against which the ejector can exhaust or if the exhaust pressure remains constant, the higher the vacuum produced by the ejector. This is true and for any particular velocity of the jet there is, of course, a limit to the vacuum that can be produced. A steam ejector basically comprises of three (3) elements: a nozzle, a mixing chamber and a diffuser. A high pressure motive fluid, typically steam, enters the steam ejector and passes through the nozzle. Through this nozzle, its velocity increases and consequently low pressure exists at that point on nozzle. This low pressure draws the suction fluid, typically air, into the mixing chamber where it mixes with the motive fluid. The mixture then passes through the diffuser. There, the mixed fluid expands, its velocity is reduced and its pressure is increased, resulting in recompressing the mixed fluids by converting velocity energy back into pressure energy. A new development in steam ejectors technology is the advent of hybrid air ejectors. This is actually a combination of an air jet ejector and a vacuum pump. The air ejector is installed at the suction of the vacuum pump, thus boosting its suction pressure and thus reducing the capital- investment cost for this pump. This first-stage ejector also helps minimize pump cavitation, as
the pump no longer operates at low suction pressures, which could lead to vaporization of the seal liquid in the pump casing.
