1. A method for balancing a group of consumers (V1, V2, V3, Vi) in a fluid transport system (5, 5

  • ) in which each consumer (V1, V2, V3, Vi) is configured with a motorized regulating valve (V11, V22, V33, Vii) for the purpose of regulating the flow through the consumer (V1, V2, V3, Vi), characterized by the;

    storage (S2) of characteristic data for the consumers (V1, V2, V3, Vi) which determines a valve position (Hi) of the corresponding regulating valve (V11, V22, V33, Vii) for the target throughputs (Fi) through each of the consumers (V1, V2, V3, Vi),determination (S32) of a momentary total throughput through the group of consumers (V1, V2, V3, Vi) by means of a flow sensor (4),determination (S34) of a balancing factor based on the momentary total throughput and a sum of the desired target throughputs through the consumers (V1, V2, V3, Vi), andexecution (S3) of a dynamic balancing of the consumers (V1, V2, V3, Vi) by setting the valve positions (Hi) of the corresponding regulating valves (V11, V22, V33, Vii) based on the characteristic data and the balancing factor.
