Applications
Gas jet compressors are mainly used to mix and compress gases.
Mode of operation
Gas jet vacuum pumps and air jet vacuum pumps operate on the same principle as all jet pumps: The pressure energy of the motive medium is converted into speed energy in the motive nozzle.
Instead of liquid or steam, gas or compressed air is used as the motive medium. This is particularly suitable where no steam is available or where compressed air or gas as motive medium offer advantages over steam.
Advantages
- No moving parts
- Maintenance-free
- Can be installed in virtually all situations
- Quickly and easily put into operation
- Almost unlimited life, when a suitable material of construction is chosen
- Can be manufactured from various materials of construction
- Low acquisition costs

The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
