At the end of the system, a mixture of liquid and gas will appear. For drums feeding a furnace, a holdup of 30 minutes is a good. Holdup time is 5 minutes for half full reflux drums and gas/liquid separators Design for a 5-10 minute holdup for drums feeding another column D. If a pump forces the liquid through a tube connected to a system consisting of a venturi to increase the liquid speed (the diameter decreases), a short piece of tube with a small hole in it, and last a venturi that decreases speed (so the pipe gets wider again), the gas will be sucked in through the small hole because of changes in pressure. Transvac Engineers have designed a range of online software tools to enable our clients to run preliminary Ejector screening. Interstage steam pressures can be increased with ejectors (20-30 efficient) or mechanical compressors (70-75 efficient). Firstly, a basic analytical model for calculation of the ejector optimum geometry for a wide range of operating conditions is derived by a one dimensional model. Steam ejector is required to compress low-pressure stream to a higher pressure.

The ejector is the heart of these systems, and its optimum design is critically important to the coefficient of performance (COP) of the whole system. Steam ejectors are one of the key components of steam ejector refrigeration/heat pump systems.
