Abstract

A nozzle apparatus of a jet pump includes a nozzle base member, and a plurality of nozzles installed to the nozzle base member and forming a plurality of narrowing portions, in which a fluid passage cross-sectional area of a driving fluid passage formed in the nozzle is reduced.

Claims (11)

1. A nozzle apparatus of a jet pump comprising:

a nozzle base member; and

a plurality of nozzles installed to the nozzle base member and protruding in a downward direction from an upper part of the base member;

wherein three narrowing portions are formed in each of the downwardly protruding nozzles so that a fluid passage cross-sectional area of a driving fluid passage formed in each nozzle is reduced three times in the downward direction from an upstream part to a downstream part of the driving fluid passage.

2. The nozzle apparatus of a jet pump according to claim 1 , wherein the driving fluid passage of each of the nozzles has a first nozzle narrowing portion, a first nozzle straight-tube portion, a second nozzle narrowing portion, a second nozzle straight-tube portion, a third nozzle narrowing portion, and a nozzle lower end portion;

wherein an ejection outlet is formed at a lower end of the nozzle lower end portion and communicated with the driving fluid passage; and

wherein the first nozzle narrowing portion, the first nozzle straight-tube portion, the second nozzle narrowing portion, the second nozzle straight-tube portion, the third nozzle narrowing portion, and the nozzle lower end portion are disposed in this order from the upper part of the nozzle base member to the ejection outlet.

3. The nozzle apparatus of a jet pump according to claim 2 , wherein a narrowing angle of the third nozzle narrowing portion is larger than that of the second nozzle narrowing portion.

4. The nozzle apparatus of a jet pump according to claim 2 , wherein an inner diameter of the first nozzle straight-tube portion is D 1 , an inner diameter of the second nozzle straight-tube portion is D 2 , and an inner diameter of the nozzle lower end portion is D 3 , and wherein the inner diameters D 1 , D 2 and D 3 have a relationship which is D 1 >Dl>D 3 .

5. The nozzle apparatus of a jet pump according to claim 2 , wherein the nozzle lower end portion is a straight-tube portion, and

wherein an inner diameter of the first nozzle straight-tube portion is D 1 , an inner diameter of the second nozzle straight-tube portion is D 2 , and an inner diameter of the nozzle lower end portion is D 3 , the inner diameters D 1 , D 2 and D 3 have a relationship which is D 1 >D 2 >D 3 .
