Abstract (en)

An air detection process (15) for detecting air in a heating or cooling system (1) comprises one or more air detection steps (15.1, ..., 15.n) wherein, with a circulation pump (5) activated (F1) at a circulation speed, detecting a parameter (x) indicative of the water flow rate inside a hydraulic circuit (2) (F2), collecting a plurality of values (x_t) of the parameter (x) detected in a detection time interval (F3), calculating a variation (FlowRate_StdDev) of the plurality of values (x_t) collected in the detection time interval (F4), comparing the calculated variation (FlowRate_StdDev) with a variation threshold value (Threshold_var) (F5), and if the calculated variation (FlowRate_StdDev) is greater than the variation threshold value (Threshold_var), generating an notification signal of air presence in the hydraulic circuit (2) (F6).
