A simple schematic/drawing of a 2/3.... stage system ?
Can anyone draw this ? It's quite fuzzy in the text. "in a two-stage steam ejector, for example, the second stage provides vacuum for the waste steam output by the first stage". 78.97.51.13 (talk) 19:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Merge with Eductor-jet pump
Suggesting a merge as both articles seem to be about the same kind of pump? StealthFox 01:00, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. I recommend eductor-jet pump be merged into aspirator. Neelix (talk) 21:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Disagree. In our business we use eductors frequently. Eductors are generally much larger than aspirators and are used for industrial purposes. Aspirators are small devices used for delicate work. Just because two devices work on the same principle, does not mean they are the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.43.130.244 (talk) 14:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Disagree. With an aspirator one refers mainly to relatively low pressure air applications. Referring to an eductor one is more likely to see a much larger, industrial scale and high pressure application. --VanBurenen (talk) 21:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Disagree. A jet pump is a type of aspirating device; however, the two terms are not interchangeable. The two articles should remain separate articles that are linked to each other.--Bogelund (talk) 12:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Agree. We work with pumps which are alternately referred to as "aspirator" or "eductor" depending on personal preference. Our "aspirator" is neither small nor low pressure. A steam ejector works on the same principle, but I would not suggest merging it here because those are very large industrial systems.Chancwj (talk) 19:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Disagree. Both "aspirator" and "jet pump" operates on the principle of venturi effect. However, in an aspirator the velocity of motive stream is sub-sonic and in the case of jet pumps it can be supersonic. I do hope that this distinction based on the speed of motive stream velocity defines the difference between an aspirator and a jet pump.Chitraeswar (talk) 10:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Disagree. If a customer of mine were to ask what a Jet Pump was, I would refer him to my Website [[1]] which describes Jet Pumps as Water Well Pumps designed to extract water from the ground for the purpose of pressurizing it into a tank for usage in a home or business. If they asked how the Jet Pump worked, I might then get into the technical aspects of how a Nozzle and Venturi work together. --Robert M.

absolutely right... both articles should be merged
- Agree but the other way. I think the Aspirator is a specific type of the more general eductor pump. If anyone can point out a scheme for defining the line between the two, please go ahead. Egmason (talk) 09:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
