Abstract
A system includes a pressure exchanger and one or more valves. The pressure exchanger includes a rotor that is configured to exchange pressure between a first fluid and a second fluid. The pressure exchanger further includes a housing disposed around the rotor, one or more flushing inlets coupled to the housing, and one or more flushing outlets coupled to the housing. The one or more first valves are coupled to the one or more flushing outlets. The one or more first valves in an open position are associated with a flushing operation. The one or more first valves in a closed position are associated with a lubrication operation.
