    Abstract: A feed pump to increase the pressure in a line includes a pumping chamber for a pumping medium. At least one temperature sensor, which is arranged in the feed pump, is allocated to the pumping chamber and is in thermal contact with the pumping chamber for determining a temperature of the pumping medium in the pumping chamber. A temperature control device is allocated to the at least one temperature sensor and by which defined temperature conditions can be created in an area surrounding the at least one temperature sensor. An evaluation device to which the at least one temperature sensor is coupled for signal purposes uses the data from the at least one temperature sensor to determine whether pumping medium is flowing through the pumping chamber or not.
