=An Ejector= is a machine for lifting water from various depths and
forcing it to various heights with steam pressure, as follows:
With 20 pounds steam pressure an ejector will lift water to a level
from 16 or 17 feet below and force it to a height of 15 or 16 feet.
[Illustration: American Ejector.]
With 60 pounds steam pressure will lift 20 feet and force to a height
of 60 feet.
With 100 pounds steam pressure will lift 23 feet and force to a height
of 107 feet.
An ejector may be placed in any position to suit the convenience in
piping; they require but three connections, steam, suction and delivery.
