Abstract
A pressure exchanger includes a rotor configured to receive a first fluid, receive a second fluid, and exchange pressure between the first fluid and the second fluid. The pressure exchanger further includes a sleeve disposed around the rotor, where the first fluid is to enter the rotor radially through the sleeve. The pressure exchanger further includes a post disposed inside the rotor.
Claims20
A pressure exchanger comprising:
- a rotor configured to receive a first fluid, receive a second fluid, and exchange pressure between the first fluid and the second fluid;
- a sleeve disposed around the rotor, wherein the first fluid is to enter the rotor radially through the sleeve;
- and
- a post disposed inside the rotor.
1 more element
A pressure exchanger comprising:
- a rotor configured to exchange pressure between a first fluid and a second fluid, the rotor forming a rotor cavity, the rotor comprising:
- an outer side surface, wherein the first fluid is to enter the rotor radially via the outer side surface.
A pressure exchanger comprising:
- a rotor forming a plurality of radial ducts, wherein the rotor is configured to receive a first fluid, receive a second fluid, and exchange pressure between the first fluid and the second fluid;
- and
- a post disposed in a rotor cavity formed by the rotor, wherein the first fluid is to radially enter the rotor via a first port of a first pair of ports formed by a sleeve disposed around the rotor or the post into a radial duct of the plurality of radial ducts, and radially exit the rotor via a second port of the first pair of ports.
