[0002] As the core equipment in the fields of metallurgy and chemical industry, water vapor jet vacuum pumps are widely used due to their stable pumping performance. With the continuous expansion of production capacity, the energy consumption of equipment is becoming increasingly critical: a single vacuum pump needs to consume thousands of cubic meters of cooling water per hour, and the supporting water circulation system not only increases the operating cost, but more importantly, the condenser installed at a high position has a significant drop, and a large amount of cooling water carries considerable gravitational potential energy that is not recovered, resulting in a huge structural waste of energy.
[0003] The current industry generally uses a multi-stage condensing structure to reduce steam consumption, which can alleviate the load of the vacuum pump at the later stage, but does not address the fundamental problem of energy recovery. The cooling water circulation process still relies on a water pump driven by electricity to maintain water flow, which is a "water for electricity" mode that adds new energy consumption, making the system fall into a dilemma of "solving cooling needs but increasing energy consumption burden".
[0004] In summary, how to efficiently capture and convert the gravitational potential energy of cooling water during the drainage process is a technical bottleneck that needs to be broken through. SUMMARY
