Applications
Liquid jet ventilators are used to draw off air, gases or vapor.
They are designed to suck in gas flows at small pressure differences. The pressure gain (compression) which these units can archive is in the range between 1 and 20 mbar.
Mode of operation
Liquid jet ventilators operate on the jet pumps principle. Their action is based on the jet of motive liquid which emerges from the motive nozzle entraining and conveying the surrounding gas.
The specific motive liquid requirement in m³ of liquid per m3 of air or gas:
- Decreases with higher motive liquid pressure p₁
- Increases with rising, required compression ∆p
- Is independent of nature and density of the drawn off gases.
Advantages
- With correct choice of materials of manufacture an almost unlimited life
- Maintenance-free
- Quickly and simply brought into operation
- Can be fabricated from many different materials
- Low capital and installation costs
- Low-noise operation
- No moving parts

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.
