Abstract

A cooler for a cooling clinker of a cement production plant includes an aeration grate for conveying the clinker in a conveying direction, a ventilator for generating a cooling air flow that passes the aeration grate as a cross flow, and a measuring plane disposed above the aeration grate. The measuring plane includes a temperature measuring installation for ascertaining a temperature distribution in the measuring plane. The cooler includes an open-loop or closed-loop control installation to control a conveying rate of the clinker and/or a flow rate of the cooling air flow as a function of the ascertained temperature distribution. Further, a corresponding method can be utilized to operate a cooler for cooling clinker.
