Abstract: An ejector includes a nozzle, a needle and a body. The nozzle reduces a pressure of a fluid and discharges the fluid as an injected fluid from a fluid injection port. The body includes a fluid suction port and a pressure increasing portion. The fluid suction port draws, as a suction fluid, a fluid from an outside of the body by using a suction force generated by the injected fluid. The pressure increasing portion increases a pressure of a mixture of the injected fluid and the suction fluid. The nozzle includes a throat portion and a nozzle-side tapered portion. The throat portion reduces a passage cross-sectional area of the fluid passage to be smallest in the fluid passage at the throat portion. The nozzle-side tapered portion expands the passage cross-sectional area of the fluid passage toward the downstream side in the flow direction of the fluid.

Abstract: When an ejector having a variable nozzle and a variable throttle mechanism are integrated together as an ejector module, a nozzle-side central axis CL1 and a decompression-side driving mechanism have a twisted positional relationship, if the nozzle-side central axis CL1 is defined as a central axis of a nozzle-side driving mechanism in a displacement direction in which the nozzle-side driving mechanism of the ejector having the variable nozzle displaces a needle valve, and the decompression-side central axis CL2 is defined as a central axis of a decompression-side driving mechanism in a displacement direction in which the decompression-side driving mechanism of the variable throttle mechanism displaces a throttle valve. When viewed from the central axis direction of one of the nozzle-side central axis CL1 and the decompression-side central axis CL2, a driving portion corresponding to the one central axis is disposed to overlap with the other central axis.

Abstract: An ejector type refrigerating cycle comprises a compressor, a heat radiating device, an ejector, and a first vaporizing device, which are connected in a circuit to form a refrigerating cycle. A bypass passage is provided between an inlet port and a suction port of the ejector, so that a part of the refrigerant is bifurcated to flow through the bypass passage. A second vaporizing device is provided in the bypass passage. An internal heat exchanger is further provided between an outlet side of the heat radiating device and the inlet side of the ejector, so that the enthalpy of the high-pressure refrigerant from the heat radiating device is reduced, to thereby increase an enthalpy difference between the inlet side and outlet side of the first and second vaporizing devices. As a result, the cooling capability by the both vaporizing devices can be improved.

Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device includes a first branch portion with branched first and second refrigerant passages, an ejector located in the first refrigerant passage, a first evaporator located in the first refrigerant passage to evaporate refrigerant flowing out of the ejector, a branch passage through which refrigerant upstream of a nozzle portion of the ejector flows into a refrigerant suction port of the ejector, a first throttle provided in the branch passage, a second evaporator located in the branch passage to evaporate the refrigerant flowing out of the first throttle, a second throttle provided in the second refrigerant passage, and a third evaporator located in the second refrigerant passage to evaporate the refrigerant flowing out of the second throttle. Furthermore, a pressure-loss generation portion is located to generate a pressure loss in the first refrigerant passage, thereby causing the refrigerant to easily flow into the second refrigerant passage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a variable capacity type ejector capable of more precisely adjusting a flow rate of refrigerant in a range in which a displacement means can displace a needle and also capable of increasing a flow rate of refrigerant when the needle valve is fully opened. In the needle valve 24 which changes the degree of opening (throat portion area) of the nozzle 18 when the needle is displaced in the axial direction R of the throttle portion 18b, the second tapered portion 24b is formed on the throat portion 18a side of the first tapered portion 24a, and the taper angle ?2 of the second tapered portion 24b is formed larger than the taper angle ?1 of the first tapered portion 24a.

Abstract: In an ejector-type depressurizer, a nozzle arrangement converts pressure energy of refrigerant supplied from a radiator into velocity energy to depressurize and expand the refrigerant, and a pressurizer arrangement mixes the refrigerant discharged from the nozzle arrangement with the refrigerant drawn from an evaporator and converts the velocity energy of the refrigerant discharged from the nozzle arrangement into pressure energy to increase the pressure of the mixed refrigerant discharged from the pressurizer arrangement. The pressurizer arrangement includes a refrigerant passage that conducts the refrigerant supplied from the nozzle arrangement and the refrigerant supplied from the evaporator, and the refrigerant passage includes a refrigerant passing zone, through which the refrigerant from the nozzle arrangement and the refrigerant from the evaporator mainly pass during operation of the ejector-type depressurizer.

Abstract: An ejector decompression device for a refrigerant cycle includes a nozzle which decompresses refrigerant flowing out of a refrigerant radiator, and a pressure increasing portion which increases a pressure of refrigerant while refrigerant jetted from the nozzle and refrigerant drawn from an evaporator are mixed. In the ejector cycle, a coaxial degree of the nozzle with respect to the pressure increasing portion is in a range between 0-30% of an inlet diameter of the pressure increasing portion. Alternatively, the pressure increasing portion has a taper portion at least in a predetermined range from the inlet of the pressure increasing portion, and the taper portion is provided to increase a passage sectional area from the inlet of the pressure increasing portion. Accordingly, collision of high-speed refrigerant jetted from the nozzle to an inner wall surface of the pressure increasing portion can be restricted.
