Abstract: A dispensing device that dispenses a predetermined volume of fluid into a receptacle has a valve that controls the flow of the fluid through the device. The valve is pre-heated to a calculated operating temperature before dispensing operations begin. Once the temperature of the valve reaches the calculated operating temperature, the device begins dispensing the fluid. The valve is maintained at that calculated temperature during dispensing operations.

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus for dispensing predetermined volumes of fluid into receptacles receives the fluid to be dispensed from a fluid supply into a reservoir. A fill tube is connected to the fluid reservoir such that it forms a closed loop with the reservoir. The fill tube minimizes the fluid turbulence that occurs inside the reservoir while the reservoir is being re-supplied with fluid from the fluid source. Additionally, the fill tube holds the predetermined volume of fluid to be dispensed into the receptacle. A fluid level sensor is disposed along the fill tube to control the volume of fluid flowing into or out of the fill tube, while a timer controls a dispense valve to meter the flow of fluid into or out of a dispense tube.
