CanEJEX is a user-friendly calculation tool specifically designed to support professionals with technical backgrounds in evaluating the potential of gas/gas ejectors in industrial process ap- plications, where fluid compression or entrainment is desired.
The CanEJEX software also provides analysis capabilities for two-phase CO2 ejectors operating in refrigeration/heat pumping conditions.
CanEJEX was developed by CanmetENERGY in Varennes, a Natural Resources Canada research centre.
CanEJEX offers two calculation modules:
- Preliminary Design: Evaluates the feasibility of designing an ejector to meet specific operational requirements. It provides initial estimates of key geometric dimensions (nozzle throat diameter, nozzle exit diameter, and mixing chamber diameter). These estimates facilitate the optimization and final design stages, which require advanced methods such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental validation.
- Performance Prediction: Predicts the performance of a specific ejector under various operating conditions. By inputting three key geometric parameters (nozzle throat diameter, nozzle exit diameter, and mixing chamber diameter), it calculates values for the two key performance criteria: entrainment ratio and compression ratio.
System Requirements
- Windows 10 (64-bit) or later
- Microsoft® .NET 7.0 or later
