Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a control device for automatically controlling the heat dissipation {dot over (q)} in a mold 200 for casting metal. The heat dissipation of the side plate of a mold is automatically adjusted to a preset set point {dot over (q)}set by suitable variation of the volume flow rate {dot over (V)} of a coolant 300 through the side plate. In accordance with the invention, to avoid the necessity, when different molds are used, of adapting the control of the heat dissipation each time to different thicknesses or coatings of the side plates or to different settings of the side plates during the casting operation or during the casting of different grades of steel, the actual value for the heat dissipation {dot over (q)} during a steady-state casting operation is suitably computed on a current basis from, among other things, the difference in the temperature of the coolant 300 at the coolant outlet and the coolant inlet of the side plate 200 and material constants for the coolant.
