Abstract
In this paper, the effect of geometric parameters on a two-phase ejector performance was experimentally studied, and the R290 was used as the working fluid. The four geometric parameters of the ejector were discussed in detail, including the diameter of the nozzle throat (Dt), the nozzle exit position (NXP), the diameter of the mixing section (Dm) and the length of the mixing section (Lm). The experimental results indicated that the pressure lift ratio (rp) of the ejector was sensitive to Dt and NXP. Within the increase of Dt and NXP discussed in this paper, the rp of the ejector varied from 1.13 to 1.33 and 1.32 to 1.07, respectively. In addition, a maximum rp of the ejector could be obtained when Dm was 3 mm to 4 mm under different nozzle throat diameter. When the Dt was 0.7 mm, the entrainment ratio of the ejector varied from 0.402 to 1.406 as the Dm varied from 2 mm to 6 mm. The Lm of the ejector diffuser had little effect on the ejector performance. Moreover, the empirical correlations for the efficiencies of R290 two-phase ejector components were summarized based on the experimental result and ejector model.
