Abstract

A multi-stage ejector pump having an ejector nozzle system with the nozzles situated coaxially behind each other and axially set apart from each other by a spaced distance. The ejector a nozzle system is made up of a set of individual nozzles and nozzle spacers. The ejector nozzle system can be sealingly pushed into a nozzle-receiving shaft of a housing element. The housing wall is interrupted in the area between adjacent nozzles to provide a fluid connection to suction chambers. Each individual nozzle is provided with support elements on its outer periphery. The support elements are axially set apart and provide tilt-free or low-tilt support in relation to the wall of the nozzle-receiving shaft. The aim of the invention is to provide a multi-stage ejector pump which has compact construction, interchangeable nozzles and a high degree of efficiency.
