Performance evaluation of an ejector-based cooling system by Neo, Tiffany Bi Xuan.

“…Hence 3 evaporators will be used to cater to each temperature condition, with the higher temperature evaporator having a higher working pressure and vice versa. However, this conventional MERS is not energy efficient as much energy is loss due to the pressure differences in each evaporator when mixing occurs as the streams combine before entering the single compressor. …”
