Variable-flow ejectors for heat recovery
Enhance your steam system efficiency by upgrading low-pressure steam to higher pressure levels, ensuring optimal heat recovery and reduced waste in your processes.
Compresses and Upgrades Low-Pressure Steam
The Variable-Flow Ejector from GEA, based on advanced jet pump technology, is engineered to optimize heat recovery and steam pressure in various industrial processes. This equipment excels in efficiently compressing low-pressure steam to higher pressure, enhancing energy utilization without the need for rotating parts, thus minimizing maintenance. It’s ideal for applications in chemical production, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, particularly in heat recovery systems.
The ejector’s operation is driven by medium- to high-pressure steam, making it suitable for continuous and manual operations across diverse industries. GEA’s Variable-Flow Ejectors are distinguished by their adaptability to varying mass flow and pressure requirements through a motive nozzle needle, allowing precise process control. Available in materials like stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys, they offer longevity even in harsh operating environments.
These ejectors provide seamless integration into existing production lines, supporting processes such as evaporator and hot condensate heating. Their design ensures low acquisition and operational costs, complemented by GEA’s engineering support for tailored configurations to meet specific plant needs.
