Variable-flow ejectors for heat recovery
In industries where waste steam or low-pressure steam is commonly produced, optimizing energy use is essential. Converting this otherwise wasted steam into useful heat can significantly enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
Efficiently upgrade waste steam
The Variable-Flow Ejector from GEA is a sophisticated solution designed to compress low-pressure steam to a higher pressure level, using medium- or high-pressure steam as the driving energy. The system relies on proven GEA jet pump technology, ensuring reliability and low maintenance. The key feature of these ejectors is a motive nozzle needle that allows precise adaptation to varying mass flow and pressure requirements. This flexibility results in efficient heat recovery from hot condensate or during the heating of evaporators. When choosing the appropriate material of construction, the system can offer a lifespan of several decades. Applicable across multiple processes and industries such as upgrading waste steam, heat recovery, and heating evaporators, this technology guarantees low acquisition costs and efficient operation. GEA’s variable-flow ejectors are compatible with various materials, making them adaptable to specific industrial needs.
