  • Fluid exchange devices and related controls, systems, and methods
    Patent number: 10988999
    Abstract: Devices for exchanging properties, such as pressure, between at least two fluid streams and related methods may include pistons coupled to a valve stem. The valve stem and valve body may be configured to define a primary seal between the one or more pistons and the valve body and a secondary seal between the one or more pistons and the valve body.
    Type: Grant

  • Fluid exchange devices and related controls, systems, and methods
    Patent number: 10920555
    Abstract: Pressure exchange devices and related systems may include a valve device configured to selectively place a fluid at a first higher pressure in communication with another fluid at a lower pressure in order to pressurize the another fluid to a second higher pressure. Methods of exchanging pressure between at least two fluid streams may include a pressure exchanger having two low pressure inlets.
