ABSTRACT:
Fluid transfer controllers (FTCs) having a rotor assembly with multiple rotor blade sets coupled to a hub component of the rotor assembly and further having barrier components forming passages for routing fluid through the multiple rotor blade sets are provided. More specifically, the FTCs include passages for routing fluid along one side of a dividing structure to which a first set of rotor blades is attached and subsequently along the opposite side of the dividing structure to which a second set of rotor blades is attached. The dividing structure may be the hub component of the rotor assembly or a partition separating different levels of rotor blades within the rotor assembly. In some cases, the FTCs may be configured to route fluid from the first rotor blade set to a thermal energy alteration device and further route fluid from the thermal energy alteration device to the second rotor blade set.
