Abstract
Continuous cooperative isobaric ejector method, process and apparatus are disclosed. The ejector compressor 10a is used as a primary compression source in a refrigeration system. The isobaric expansion is accomplished by centrifuging the liquid during the process of evaporation. The vapor evaporated from the liquid as it becomes progressively sub-cooled is used to power a novel continuous spiral ejector 25 compressor. The continuous isobaric ejector 10b is also used to replace the free expansion at the expansion valve.
Claims13
A method for achieving an isobaric expansion process comprising:
- supplying liquid at a high pressure and temperature,
- causing the liquid to rotate producing a centrifugal force on the liquid,
- allowing the inner layer of liquid to evaporate from successively colder portions of the liquid and
- utilizing the vapor pressure from the successively colder portions of the liquid to perform useful work.

An ejector comprising:
- an outer member having an inlet end and an outlet end;
- a first inner member concentric within said outer member and extending through said outer member, said first inner member having a wall forming a passageway through said first inner member, the passageway having an inlet end and an outlet end;
- and
- an ejector slot extending a selected distance along the wall of said first inner member to eject gas from said outer member into said passageway and out the outlet end of said passageway.
