Abstract:
The invention relates to a system ( 1 ) and a method for collecting and handling dust in a paper-making environment. The system ( 1 ) comprises a source of underpressure ( 2 ) and an elongated collector ( 4 ) that extends along a longitudinal axis and which elongated collector ( 4 ) is connected to the source of underpressure ( 2 ) through at least one suction duct ( 7 ) such that underpressure can be generated inside the elongated collector ( 4 ). The elongated collector ( 4 ) has an inlet ( 5 ) through which dust-laden air can enter the elongated collector ( 4 ) and an exit opening ( 6 ) leading to the suction duct ( 7 ) through which exit opening ( 6 ) dust-laden air can be evacuated from the elongated collector ( 4 ). A source of water ( 8 ) is connected by at least one water supply duct ( 10 ) to the elongated collector ( 4 ) such that water from the source of water ( 8 ) can be introduced into the elongated collector so that dust in the dust-laden air can be exposed to and mix with the water introduced into the elongated collector ( 4 ). A flow meter ( 12 ) is functionally connected to the system ( 1 ) to measure at least one of a flow of water from the source of water ( 8 ) to the elongated collector ( 4 ) or a flow of water exiting from the elongated collector ( 4 ) through the exit opening ( 6 ) of the elongated collector ( 4 ) and arranged to send a signal indicating a numerical value for a flow of water that reaches or leaves the elongated collector ( 4 ) such that this value can be compared to a predetermined minimum value. The system is used to carry out the inventive method.

Claim (Index 18):
The system according to  claim 14 , wherein:\n the flow meter ( 12 ) is connected to a logic control unit ( 14 ) and arranged to send the signal to the logic control unit ( 14 ), the logic control unit ( 14 ) is arranged to be able to control at least one of the source of underpressure ( 2 ) or a control valve ( 15 ) in the suction duct, such that the logic control unit ( 14 ) is capable of reducing the underpressure that is generated inside the elongated collector ( 4 ), and the logic control unit ( 14 ) is set to reduce the underpressure that is generated in the elongated collector ( 4 ) when the signal from the flow meter ( 12 ) indicates that the flow of water is below a predetermined value.
