Abstract

Exemplary systems may have a bellows pump and a make-up system, with the make-up system being configured to both keep the piston and bellows of the pump in sync and to cool fluid from at least one additional component of the system. In some embodiments, the make-up system may be configured as the sole cooling mechanism for the overall system, while in other embodiments the make-up system may work with one or more external cooler to jointly cool the overall system. In embodiments, the system may further include a control system which may be configured to determine and control appropriate fluid circulation, for example to optimize cooling as well as to maintain synchronous movement of the bellows and the piston. Related methods are also disclosed.
