Abstract

See full text

A system includes a rotary isobaric pressure exchanger (IPX) having an oblique ramp disposed within a fluid inlet of an end cover at an oblique angle configured to direct a fluid toward an interior surface of a channel within a rotor to facilitate rotation of the rotor. In addition, the system may include one or vanes disposed within the fluid inlet to further direct the fluid toward the interior surface. Further, the system may include one or more passages extending from the fluid inlet toward a surface of the end cover that interfaces with the rotor, where the one or more passages utilize the fluid to apply additional force to the rotor to facilitate rotation.
