Beyond thermocompressor technology, Schutte & Koerting manufactures a comprehensive range of ejector-based equipment for vacuum generation, gas compression, liquid pumping, and fluid mixing—all utilizing the venturi effect with no moving parts.

Steam jet exhauster and steam jet compressor systems operate on the jet principle, utilizing live steam or compressed air as the motive fluid to achieve moderately high vacuum levels or compress gases at low compression ratios. These air and gas pumps handle diverse applications from vacuum priming to gas transfer.

Operating on the steam jet principle, the steam jet vacuum pump and steam jet vacuum ejector utilize the energy of steam to create a vacuum and handle process gases. The simple design, with no moving parts, prevents clogs, handles condensable vapors, and operates reliably in harsh service conditions.

The gas jet compressor employs a high-pressure gas jet as the operating medium to entrain a low-pressure gas, effectively mixing the two and discharging at an intermediate pressure. Unlike steam jet compressor designs, these units use compressed natural gas, air, nitrogen, or other gases as the motive fluid.

These exhausters rely solely on pressurized water as the motive fluid, making them ideal for handling mixtures of condensable and non-condensable gases. The water jet creates a vacuum through the venturi effect, entraining gases while simultaneously condensing vapors.

Multi-nozzle water jet exhauster systems serve multiple purposes through a distributed nozzle design, providing greater capacity and turndown flexibility. Applications include evacuating closed vessels, priming centrifugal pumps, and pumping and mixing operations.

Utilizing the ejector-venturi principle, jet blowers excel at moving large volumes of air and other gases against low back pressures. These devices use compressed air, steam, or other motive fluid to entrain and accelerate ambient air, creating high-volume, low-pressure airflow.

Steam ejector pump systems (also called steam siphons or jet pump designs) use the energy of a steam jet to pump liquids with no moving parts. The high velocity of the steam into the liquid creates entrainment and pumping action, ideal for applications involving abrasive, corrosive, or solids-laden liquids.
Our engineers will work directly with you to evaluate your operating conditions and recommend the optimal thermocompressor, ejector, or exhauster design for your steam recovery, vacuum generation, or gas compression needs.
