Gas turbine ejector and method of operation

摘要

An ejector system (34) and method of operation for combining high and low pressure fluid flow streams (18) is disclosed. A nozzle chamber (35) communicates with a high pressure fluid flow stream and a suction chamber (42) communicates with a low pressure fluid flow stream (18). The outlet (40) of the nozzle chamber (35) exit into the suction chamber (42) and include multiple nozzles (48) such that the high pressure flow stream exits the nozzle chamber (35) in multiple flow streams having multiple surface areas for interlayer drag between the flows. The low pressure fluid flow stream (18) is entrained by the high pressure fluid flow streams exiting the multiple nozzles (48) to define an intermediate pressure flow stream.
