Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001989
A device that uses a high-velocity fluid jet to entrain and pump another fluid or gas from a low-pressure region to a higher-pressure region. It operates on the principle of momentum transfer, creating a vacuum or suction effect. Ejectors are often used in vacuum systems, for mixing, or to remove condensate from steam systems.
