Abstract
The invention relates to a process for conveying damp gases by means of a conveyor device (1) and also relates to a conveyor device (1) for carrying out the process. The conveyor device (1) has at least one feed pump (2) with an oscillating reciprocating piston (3) in a delivery chamber (7). In order to dry the conveyor device (1) effectively in the region of the delivery chamber (7), the delivery chamber (7) of at least one feed pump (2) is intermittently ventilated at various intervals in time using an ventilation device (15) while the conveyor device (1) is in operation.
