Abstract

A pump system includes a housing defining a first internal volume and a second internal volume, a first piston positioned to separate the first internal volume into a first chamber and a second chamber, a second piston positioned to separate the second internal volume into a third chamber and a fourth chamber, a first inlet check valve configured to permit fluid flow into the first chamber, a second inlet check valve configured to permit fluid flow into the third chamber, a directional control valve (DCV) repositionable between (a) a first position where the DCV is configured to fluidly couple the second chamber to a high pressure fluid source and (b) a second position where the DCV is configured to fluidly couple the fourth chamber to the high pressure fluid source, and a relief valve configured to supply a fluid to the DCV through an orifice to move the DCV.
