EJECTORS (SJAE)
General: The attached figures illustrate the two types of Steam Jet
Air Ejector (SJAE) systems used in the industry to remove noncondensables and water vapor from main condensers. These power
systems have found wide acceptance in modern plants because of
the small space requirements, simplicity, reliability, low
maintenance and quick starting characteristics.
Fig. 1
shows the intercondenser and aftercondenser
combined in a single shell. The
intercondenser compartment is
separated from the aftercondenser
compartment by means of a
common tubesheet. Special care
is taken in
the design and fabrication to
prevent leakage
between the intercondenser
and aftercondenser
compartments.
This design has two first stage and two second stage ejectors. The
two first stages as well as the two second stages operate in parallel.
The advantage of flexibility is apparent as 100 pct or 200 pct air
handling capacities can be obtained, provided the condensers are
properly designed.
In operation, it is usually necessary to operate only the first and
second stage; the others jets are held in reserve. Block or Isolation
valves between the second stages and the intercondenser are
necessary to prevent short circuiting of air and vapor from the
aftercondenser to the intercondenser through the standby ejectors.
Also a block or
suction
