The present paper provides a literature review on two-phase ejectors and their applications in vapor compression refrigeration and heat pump systems. Geometry, operation and modeling of ejector, and effects of various operating and geometric parameters, and refrigerant varieties on the ejector performances as well as performance characteristics of both subcritical and transcritical vapor compression systems with various cycle configurations are well-summarized. Moreover, system optimal operation and control to get maximum performance by using ejector as an expansion device are also discussed. However, a lot of research work still needs to be done for large-scale applications in industry and for the replacement/modification of conventional refrigeration and heat pump machines. Favorable performance improvement along with several advantages in installation, operation and control with ejector stimulates the commercialization of ejector enhanced refrigeration and heat pump systems and hoping this contribution will be useful for any newcomer in this field of technology.
