Condens-ers of this type will give a vacuum of 26inches under ordinary a head of water is not available,the supply is furnished by a pump. The ejector condenser is simply a par-ticular case of the exhaust steam injector,which, however, it antedated manyyears. A simple calculation will showthe manner of working.
