Abstract

A method for adapting a parameter of a hot gas of a hot-gas generator having a downstream technological process. The method includes emitting a mass flow of the hot gas from the hot-gas generator into a connecting element, discharging a first portion of the mass flow from the connecting element using an exhaust, feeding a second portion of the mass flow to the technological process using the connecting element, and influencing a temperature of the hot gas between the hot-gas generator and the technological process. In addition, an arrangement for adapting a parameter of a hot gas.
