A direct-injection, supercharged internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder, in which each cylinder is equipped with a direct injection apparatus, a fuel supply system comprising a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side, and a high-pressure piston pump comprising a piston displaceable in translational fashion between a bottom dead center and a top dead center of a pressure chamber of variable volume. The displaceable piston jointly delimits the pressure chamber with variable volume in such a way that a displacement of the piston causes a change in the volume of the pressure chamber via actuation of least one movable actuation element.

A pumping system includes a first variable displacement pump having a first inlet and a first outlet. The first outlet is fluidically connected to a system outlet. A first actuator is mechanically coupled to a first displacement mechanism of the first variable displacement pump A second variable displacement pump includes a second inlet and a second outlet. The second outlet is fluidically connected to the system outlet. The pumping system also includes a second actuator mechanically coupled to a second displacement mechanism of the second variable displacement pump. An electrohydraulic servo valve is hydraulically connected to the first and second actuators. An electronic engine controller is in communication with the electrohydraulic servo valve and is configured to send electrical current to the electrohydraulic servo valve to drive the first actuator and the second actuator.

A method of controlling a gas compression system includes comparing an engine load of an engine of the gas compression system during operation to a load threshold and controlling a suction valve coupled to an intake of a reciprocating compressor. The suction valve is controlled based at least in part on the comparison of the engine load to the load threshold. Controlling the suction valve includes incrementing the suction valve toward a closed position to reduce flow of a gas into the intake when the engine load is greater than or equal to the load threshold.
