I understand that venturi injectors require a pressure differential inlet to outlet but don't quite understand how that should affect my installation position. For example, I have a Mazzei injector (384X) that I am going to be driving with an Eheim 2028. I believe if I place the injector close to the Eheim I will have more pressure on the outlet side of the venturi than if I put it up nearer to the the top of the tank. For those of you that have used venturis for CO2 injection, where have you placed your venturis?
I have seen pics of IUnknown 's venturi where it was right at the canister but in a recent thread he mentioned that getting the pressure difference inlet to outlet had caused him to place it nearer to the tank outlet (guessing this means higher up closer to top of tank).
Also, it seems the pump driving the venturi is a big variable in all of this since the stronger the pump, the more pressure on the inlet side. Is this more of a trial and error process or is there a BKM (best known method) established?
