A: Yes, and replacing any mechanical pump.
Q: Was an injector largely responsible for the 1913 Ais Gill rail accident? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are injectors therefore typically over 98% energy-efficient overall? ¶
A: Yes, they are also simple compared to the many moving parts in a feed pump.
Q: Was an injector widely adopted as an alternative to mechanical pumps in steam locomotives? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Were injectors designed to automatically restart on sensing the collapse in vacuum from the steam jet? ¶
A: Yes, for example with a spring-loaded delivery cone.
Q: Was an injector invented by Henri Giffard for the steam locomotive and patented in the United Kingdom by Messrs Sharp Stewart & Co? ¶
A: Yes.
