How are they implemented
- Normally implemented in the industries
- Rarely implemented on a Home or small office
- They are implemented as another form of refrigeration
Main Implementations
- This system is mainly being used in:
- Pharmaceutical Industries
- Gas Plants
- Breweries
- Food processing Plants
- Chemical Industries
Other implementations
- Creates a controlled environment for chemicals or food that need to be in a specific temperature or for item who are sensitive to certain amount of temperature
How does it work?
Steam passes through the ejector to the condenser. Once saturated liquid, the water is separated to the boiler and the evaporator. Finally returning to the ejector as steam
Advantages:
- Very flexible and the cooling capacity can be changed very quickly
- water can be used as a refrigerant.
- It has no moving parts thanks to that it is vibration free.
- The weight of the system per ton of refrigerating capacity is less.
- The system can be adapted to different industrial applications.
- Steam jet refrigeration systems can be operated and maintained by plant personnel with minimum supervision.

- The use of direct evaporation to produce chilled water is usually limited as large amounts in volume of vapor is to be handled.
- About twice as much heat must be removed in the condenser of steam jet per ton of refrigeration compared with the vapor compression system.
- The system is useful for comfort air-conditioning, but it is not practical for water temperature that are below 40 C.
