Classification: CPC F  Y | IPC F

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a pressure exchanger (PX) configured to receive a first fluid at a first pressure via a first inlet of the PX, receive a second fluid at a second pressure via a second inlet of the PX, and exchange pressure between the first fluid and the second fluid, wherein the first fluid is to exit the PX at a third pressure via a first outlet of the PX, and wherein the second fluid is to exit the PX at a fourth pressure via a second outlet of the PX;
a condenser configured to provide the first fluid to the PX via the first inlet and transfer corresponding thermal energy between the first fluid and a first corresponding environment;
a first receiver configured to receive the first fluid from the first outlet of the PX, wherein the first receiver forms a first chamber configured to separate the first fluid into a first gas and a first liquid; and
a first booster configured to:
receive a first portion of the first gas from the first receiver;
increase pressure of the first portion of the first gas to form the second fluid at the second pressure; and
provide the second fluid at the second pressure to the PX via the second inlet.
