Energy recovery system with pressure exchanger and booster
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11913696B2) discloses a system comprising a pressure exchanger (PX) designed to exchange pressure between two fluids, a condenser transferring thermal energy, a receiver separating the fluid into gas and liquid, and a booster increasing gas pressure to form the second fluid. The system can function as a refrigeration or heat pump system, with carbon dioxide as the fluid, and specific pressure differentials between the fluids.
The patent also includes methods and computer-readable storage mediums detailing the operations of the system, such as thermal energy transfer, pressure exchange, gas-liquid separation, and pressure increase. Additional components like a bypass valve, heat exchangers, compressors, and receivers are integrated into the system to optimize its functionality. The system's design allows for efficient energy transfer and pressure management, making it suitable for various applications requiring thermal energy exchange and pressure manipulation.
