A pump system includes a cylinder, a piston disposed within the cylinder to define a first chamber portion and a second chamber portion within the cylinder, and a conduit system fluidly coupled to the second chamber portion. The piston is configured to move in a first direction within the cylinder to draw a working fluid into the first chamber portion, and the piston is configured to move in a second direction within the cylinder to pressurize the working fluid. The conduit system is configured to receive fluid discharged from the second chamber portion due to movement of the piston in the first direction within the cylinder, and the conduit system includes a sensor configured to determine a parameter of the fluid flowing through the conduit system, the parameter being indicative of leakage of the working fluid from the first chamber portion to the second chamber portion.
A pump system, comprising:
A conduit system for a pump system comprising a cylinder and a piston disposed within the cylinder to define a rod-side chamber and a piston-side chamber, opposite the rod-side chamber, wherein the conduit system comprises:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to:
