A method for controlling a first reference temperature in a device (1) for compressing gas, the device (1) including an oil-injected element (2) for compressing the gas; an oil injection pipe network (6) for injecting oil into the oil-injected element (2), including: an apportioning means (8) for apportioning the oil into a first part and into a second part; an oil cooler (10) cooled by a fan (9), for cooling the first part; and a bypass (11) for diverting the second part past the oil cooler (10). An apportioning proportion of the first part is controlled to a required apportioning proportion, and subsequently a speed of the fan (9) is controlled to a required speed optionally on the basis of the apportioning proportion, wherein the apportioning proportion is controlled by a control unit (15) on the basis of a non-fuzzy logic algorithm.
