A fluid handling system is provided. The system comprises 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; and a first condenser configured to receive the first fluid from a compressor and provide corresponding thermal energy from the first fluid to a first environment. The system further comprises a second condenser configured to receive the second fluid from the PX via the second outlet and provide corresponding thermal energy from the second fluid to a second environment; and a first heat exchanger configured to receive the first fluid output from the first condenser and further configured to receive the second fluid output from the second condenser. The first heat exchanger is configured to provide corresponding thermal energy from the first fluid to the second fluid and provide the first fluid to the PX via the first inlet.
