This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. Two gas-turbine jet engines would provide the primary ejection stream in a high-capacity eductor vacuum pump. Originally proposed to create a low-pressure environment for testing rocket engines, the system could find applications in such industrial processes as handling corrosive fumes, the evaporation of milk and fruit juices, petroleum distillation, and the dehydration of blood plasma and penicillin. In contrast to an equivalent steam-driven system, the jet-engine-driven system for testing rocket engines would cost half as much to build and one-fourth as much to operate, would require less space, and would operate for longer times. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Tech.
