Abstract: An ejector device (1), e.g., for pumping a gas using a liquid motive fluid, has an injector portion (100), and a diffuser portion (50), the injector portion (100) being arranged for injecting a flow of motive fluid from a motive fluid inlet (10) into an inlet section (52) of the diffuser portion (50) thereby to draw a suction fluid from a suction fluid inlet (20) into the inlet section (52) of the diffuser portion (50). The injector portion (100) includes a flow-modifying arrangement with at least one rotational deflector element (104), e.g., three vanes (104V1, 104V2, 104V3) each at a desired twist angle, constructed and arranged to deflect motive fluid into a helical path as it moves over or through the rotational deflector element (104), and at least one baffle element (103), e.g., a baffle plate (103), downstream of the rotational deflector element (104).
