Abstract

Method of controlling the conveying speed of a grate cooler as a function of the state of the bed of material to be cooled in the initial region of the cooler while taking into account the flow resistance of said bed of material. According to the invention, the conveying speed, in addition to being controlled as a function of the flow resistance, is also controlled as a function of the height of the bed of material to be cooled.
