Ebonite nozzles are essential parts of vacuum ejector systems. These systems are designed to convert high-pressure energy into kinetic energy or velocity. Here’s how they work:

1. Function: Vacuum ejectors use a high-pressure source to compress a low-pressure suction, like gas or air, resulting in an intermediate pressure output. This process creates kinetic energy.

2. Nozzle Action: In a nozzle, pressure builds up upstream. As fluid flows through the nozzle, a jet of fluid emerges at high velocity compared to the fluid in the pipe. This transformation from high pressure, low velocity to low pressure, high velocity signifies the conversion of pressure energy to kinetic energy.

3. Simple Pumping Device: By blocking the upstream flow, the nozzle effectively sucks air or gases from a side inlet and discharges them from the end of the tube. This basic mechanism acts as a simple air or gas pump, drawing in from the surroundings.

4. Diffuser Integration: To improve efficiency, a diffuser is used to mix the incoming streams. The divergent section of the nozzle slows down the mixture, further increasing pressure. This allows the ejector to compress and boost the pressure of the fluid being handled.

5. Applications: These systems find widespread use in industries such as Oil & Gas and Water Treatment plants for tasks like fluid pumping and pressure boosting.
