    Abstract: A method for controlling a cooling device which is set up to control temperature of a rolling stock such as a metal strip, which runs through a cooling device along a conveying direction of a rolling train. The cooling device is arranged upstream of the rolling train. The method includes determining total enthalpy of a system formed by the rolling stock; determining a measure for the formation of scale, which includes a scale factor that depends on chemical composition and surface temperature of the rolling stock, and a heat transfer coefficient of the scale; calculating a temperature distribution and/or average temperature in the rolling stock based on a temperature calculation model, in which the determined total enthalpy and the measure for the formation of scale are included; and setting a cooling capacity of the cooling device taking into account the calculated temperature distribution and/or average temperature in the rolling stock.
