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.
