EDUCTORS & JET PUMPS

 

Size Liquid Motive for Exhausting Gases

Example:
Desired Suction Flow, Qs 5 Lb/Hr air
Desired Suction Pressure,Ps 5 In Hg Vac
Motive Water Pressure, Pm 40 PSIG
Outlet Pressure, Po 11 Ft Head
 
Step 1
Convert the figures from given units to units used in the performance tables.
5 Lb/Hr x 13.35 Ft 3 /Lb/60 Minutes = 1.1 SCFM Air
5 In Hg Vac = 29.92 In Hg Abs - 5 In Hg = 24.92 In Hg Absolute
40 PSIG is available - 11 Ft Head/2.3 I(Ft/PSIG)=4.8 PSIG

 

Step 2
Look down the Outlet Pressure (Po) column until the row is reached that has 5 psig outlet pressure.
 
Step 3
Locate the suction pressure (Ps) that is equal to the desired suction pressure for the chosen outlet pres­sure. In this case, go to the section with a suction pressure of 25 In Hg Abs.
 
Step 4
Find the column in the 25 In Hg row that has a motive pressure (Pm) of 40 PSIG.
 
Step 5
Divide the suction flow desired by the Tabulated Suction Flow of each of the units to determine the desired S.F.
  • 1.1 SCFM Desired/1.8 ML Tabulated Suction Flow = .65 Desired S.F.
  • 1.1 SCFM Desired/3.7 NILE tabulated flow = 30 Desired S.F.
 
From the SY's above, it appears that the MLE will be more efficient. The 1" unit has a S.F. of.34. When we multiply the S.F. by the suction flow for the 1-1 /2" unit, we find an actual suction flow of:
  • .34 x 3.7 =1.3 SCFM Actual Suction Flow
 
Step 6
The water needed to operate the MLE 1" will be 24.2 GPM x.34 S.F. = 8.2 GPM.
