How to read a Venturi Injector performance chart

The Mazzei Venturi Injector is incredibly predictable and reliable in the performance of liquid flow and gas suction. Using the performance chart provided by Mazzei allows for accurate planning and engineering of your ozone system. However, a proper understanding of this performance chart is necessary.

Mazzei Venturi Injector for ozone

Below is a chart for a common venturi injector. The injector is capable of mixing both liquid and gas into the main water flow through the venturi injector. For the purpose of dissolving ozone gas into water, the 3rd and 4th columns can be ignored completely as these refer to liquid suction only.

The first column is the injector inlet pressure, which is the pressure provided to the venturi injector inlet. The 2nd column is the injector outlet pressure, which is the pressure exerted on the injector outlet from delivering the water to the point of use. The 3rd column called MOTIVE FLOW states the flowrate of water going through the injector based on inlet/outlet pressures. This is what allows the proper pump to be chosen, calculate gas to liquid ratios and more. The last column called AIR SUCTION lists the amount of gas (oxygen,ozone, air), that can be sucked into the water stream at these aligned injector inlet/outlet pressures. As can be seen from the chart, as injector outlet pressure (2) increases, injector suction decreases (4). This is true even though the motive flow (3) stays relatively constant.
