Abstract

Vapour jet compressors with multiple stages were studied and their performance characteristics with varying number of stages, waste heat temperatures and temperature boosts were obtained. The numerical model of the multiple-stage vapour jet compressor is based on equations obtained by applying the theory of ejectors. Computer simulation proved to be an effective tool for obtaining performance characteristics of multiple-stage vapour jet compressors. Results show that the COP does not necessarily increase with increasing number of ejector stages. Also, opting for a vapour jet heat pump with more than two stages will not contribute to improving its performance within the usual temperature ranges of industrial applications.
