Injector:
The injector is used to replenish the water in the boiler from that stored in the side tank or tender.
Vacuum ejector:
The ejector is used to create a vacuum in the braking system which is used to release the brakes and keep them released.
If the vacuum is broken the brakes come on automatically.

This escaping water is accompanied by steam which escapes with the water from the cylinders.
