1= motive nozzle, 2 = diffuser, 3 = head, A = motive medium inlet connection, B = suction manifold, C = pressure manifold
How do ejectors work?
The result of this action is a mixture of the driving and entrained (sucked) fluids, the velocity of which is reduced and the pressure increased in a second nozzle.
The practical application of this principle requires a simple apparatus which essentially consists of only 3 main parts:
- motive nozzle
- diffuser
- head
Ejectors, also known as jet pumps, have a simple design, they are reliable and require low maintenance because they work without 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.
