Abstract

A rotary isobaric pressure exchanger (IPX) includes: a low-pressure port configured to input or output a first fluid under a first pressure; a rotor fluidly coupled to the low-pressure port, the rotor configured to receive and exchange pressure between the first fluid and a second fluid; a shaft routed through a centerbore formed by the rotary IPX, wherein the shaft is attached to the rotor, wherein the rotary IPX forms a low-pressure passageway from the low-pressure port to the rotor, and wherein the rotary IPX forms a fluid passageway between the low-pressure passageway and the centerbore; and a motor coupled to the shaft, the motor configured to rotate the shaft to drive the rotor.
