  • Publication number: 20160187037
    Abstract: As an ejector of the present disclosure and a cooling apparatus having the same include a suction guide unit at least partially having a curved surface so that the ejector guides a flow of a refrigerant, a structure is improved and thus a flow loss can be reduced. Also, through the improved structure, a mixture rate between a refrigerant passing through a nozzle unit and a refrigerant passing through a suction unit is improved, so that pressure rising efficiency can be increased to reduce a compressor load, and thus energy efficiency can be increased due to an increase in efficiency of the ejector.
