Applications
Gas jet ventilators are used:
- To draw off stale air, ill-smelling gases and vapors from working and storage areas
- To ventilate tanks, e.g. on ships
- As forced blast blowers or stack ventilators for boiler burners
- For the circulation of air, in particular in the textile, leather and tobacco industries
- To deaerate reaction vessels, agitator vessels and other items of equipment in chemical factories
Mode of operation
Gas jet ventilators convey air, gases and vapors against pressure differences up to approximately 500 mbar.
The achievable pressure difference between the suction and discharge pressure is the compression of a gas jet ventilator.
Steam or liquid may be used, instead of compressed air or gas, as the motive medium for jet ventilators; in this case, one would speak of steam jet ventilators or liquid jet ventilators.
Advantages
- No moving parts
- Maintenance-free
- Installed in virtually all situations
- Immediately ready for operation
- Almost unlimited life, when a suitable material of construction is chosen
- Manufactured from various materials of construction
- Low acquisition costs
As opposed to liquid jet ventilators, gas or steam jet ventilators have the advantage that they can be installed in any installation position and that larger pressure differentials can be obtained.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
