Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant un fonctionnement automatisé d'une installation de séchage munie d'une chambre de séchage au moins remplie d'un volume d'air, selon lequel une unité de commande, lors d'un démarrage à froid de l'installation de séchage, ajuste à une première valeur un volume d'air devant être évacué de la chambre de séchage par un ventilateur d'extraction et, une fois cette première valeur atteinte, ajuste le volume d'air devant être évacué de la chambre de séchage par le ventilateur d'extraction à une seconde valeur plus élevée que la première valeur pendant un temps de rinçage. À l'issue du temps de rinçage, l'unité de commande réajuste le volume d'air devant être évacué de la chambre de séchage par le ventilateur d'extraction à la première valeur.
