1. An apparatus for compressing a fluid comprising:
a linear compression chamber having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet; and
a displacement assembly spaced from the linear compression chamber and actuable to engage the linear compression chamber and displace a working fluid linearly in the linear compression chamber to decrease the volume of a fluid in the linear compression chamber and thereby increase the fluid pressure in the linear compression chamber.
