Abstract
A cooling section arranged within, upstream of, or downstream of a rolling train is provided. A hot-rolled product made of metal is cooled by the cooling section. Application devices of the cooling section are supplied with an actual current of a water-based liquid coolant via a supply line and a pump. The actual current of the coolant is applied to the hot-rolled product by means of the application device. The hot-rolled product is transported within the cooling section in a horizontal transport direction during the application of the coolant. A controller of the cooling section dynamically ascertains a target actuation state for each pump on the basis of a target current of the coolant to be applied onto the hot-rolled product by the application device and controls the pump in a corresponding manner such that the actual current delivered by each pump approximates the target current as much as possible.
