Abstract
The jet-pump refrigerator cycle offers a low-capital-cost solution for utilizing low-grade waste heat in the production of cooling for buildings and process refrigeration. The heart of the jet-pump refrigerator is an ejector, the performance of which strongly determines the thermal efficiency of the cycle. This paper describes and evaluates the results of an experimental investigation into the operation of ejectors primarily for use in jet-pump refrigerators. The construction of a steam-steam ejector test facility and experimental method are described. Experimental results are provided concerning the effects of primary nozzle exit position within the mixing-entrainment section, primary nozzle exit and diffuser throat areas. The causes and effects of flow instability under conditions of high secondary pressure ratio are also discussed and methods of increasing the critical condenser pressure are identified and rated in order of effect.
