Abstract

The invention relates to a control method for a secondary dust removal system in which a pipe network connects an induced draft fan to at least two suction points. The pipe network comprises a controllable exhaust air flap for each suction point, the position of said flap influencing the volumetric flow rate at the suction point. A mathematical model of the pipe network allows the method to energy-efficiently control the exhaust air flaps and the induced draft fan.
