PUMP

摘要

A pump for forwarding liquids is described which has at least one pump chamber with inlet and outlet valves and also a plunger which periodically varies the volume of the pump chamber. To avoid the problems of dry running with very rapidly running pumps, and in order to overcome the resulting danger of destruction, the pump is arranged so that the closing force of at least one inlet valve of each pump chamber is controlled in dependence on the movement of the displacement member.
