Vacuum Technology
Steam jet compressor
Steam jet compressors type bv1 are based on proven jet pump technology and often used in evaporating, distillation, cooling, crystallization, deodorization, degassing and drying under vacuum.
Applications
Steam jet compressors are used in evaporating, distillation, cooling, crystallization, deodorization, degassing and drying under vacuum.
In the positive pressure range the compressed exhaust vapors are used for heating (heat pump).
Mode of operation
Their operation is based on the liquid jet emerging from the motive nozzle hitting and entraining the surrounding gases and compressing them to a higher pressure (see also “Product catalogue”).
Advantages
- Large vapor volumes, particularly in high vacuum ranges, are easily handled
- Low investment cost due to the relatively simple construction
- Long operational life expectancy as steam jet compressors can always be
- Constructed of a suitable corrosion resistant material
- High operational safety and low maintenance as no moving parts are involved
In relation to these advantages, the efficiency does not play significant role, compared to other compressors. As a result of it being custom built for a duty, with correct design and application a high operating efficiency can be achieved.

Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
New food tipping point
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
