The ejector is used instead of an expansion valve. In the ejector cycle, the ejector has two functions: expansion of the liquid refrigerant , and pump-like circulation of the refrigerant. The ejector has the follow ing advantages compared to the expansion valve. 1. Can use energy, w hich is dissipated as sw irl in the expansion valve. 2. Can reduce work of the compressor, since the ejector also works as a pump. In a conventional refrigeration cycle, only the compressor circulates refrigerant . The ejector saves fuel or electricity for operating the compressor.
