Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015116480A1] An ejector has: a motive flow inlet (40); a secondary flow inlet (42); an outlet (44); a motive flow nozzle (242) having an outlet (110); a primary flowpath from the motive flow inlet through the motive flow nozzle to the ejector outlet; a secondary flowpath from the secondary flow inlet to the ejector outlet, merging with the primary flowpath at the motive nozzle outlet; a control needle (200; 300; 400) shiftable along a range of motion between a first condition and a second condition and seated against the motive nozzle in the second condition. The needle comprises: a main shaft (210); a tip (204); a first portion (220; 320) converging toward the tip; and a shoulder portion (214; 314; 422) between the first portion and the main shaft and seated against the motive nozzle in the second condition and converging toward the tip at a greater angle (?1; ?1 2) than an angle (?2; ?2 2) of the first portion.
