Linear pumping system and methods for controlling the same

A linear pumping system, comprising:

• (a) a pump casing having an interior cavity and at least one fluid inlet port receiving fluid from outside the pump casing, and at least one fluid outlet port expelling fluid from the interior cavity to the outside of the pump casing;
• (b) a linear motor enclosed within the pump casing and including a stator and a mover, the mover including a plunger and being configured to move alternately up and down with respect to the stator;
• and
• (c) a first pump enclosed within the pump casing and including a first pump chamber, a first pump fluid inlet valve configured to receive fluid into the first pump chamber from outside the pump casing through the at least one fluid inlet port of the pump casing, and a first pump fluid outlet valve configured to expel fluid from the first pump chamber into the interior cavity of the pump casing,
• wherein the first pump chamber is configured to receive a top portion of the plunger of the linear motor mover, the received top plunger portion causing fluid to be drawn into the first pump chamber through the first pump inlet valve on a downstroke of the linear motor mover, and causing fluid to be expelled from the first pump chamber into the interior cavity of the pump casing through the first pump outlet valve on an upstroke of the linear motor mover;
• and
• wherein hydraulic pressure from the first pump causes fluid within the interior cavity of the pump casing to be expelled through the fluid outlet port of the pump casing.
