Can a plunger-type metering pump continue to run idly for a long time after delivering the liquid?
It’s possible for a short period of time, as the medium also serves to reduce temperature; however, over time, the absence of such a medium will cause heating.
It’s better not to transport by air for long periods; if it must be done, minimize the duration of the journey.
Dry-running diaphragms will wear out and cause leaks quickly; dry-running pumps are not recommended.
It’s fine for a short period of time, but if it goes on too long, be careful as it might get damaged
No, it’s okay for a short period of time, but when sealed for an extended duration without any cooling of the material, it will get damaged.
