Abstract

The invention relates a method and a device for regulating individual sub-flows of a conveying system while the main flow is conveyed in a constant manner. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a device which enable the sub-flows of the conveying lines of a system for conveying fluid media to be regulated as required in said individual conveying lines with just one conveyor unit. To this end, the inventive device for regulating individual sub-flows of a system for conveying fluid media has several conveying lines which are guided in parallel. The invention is characterized in that the following are arranged in the conveying system: at least one total pressure measuring device (10), at least one sub-flow measuring unit (D) in each conveying line, at least one valve (7) with a throttle (B) and a data acquisition, processing and control value output module (C), these being functionally interconnected by hardware and/or software.
