Abstract
A method of regulating a feed circuit including at least a first pump and an upstream duct leading to the first pump, the method including the steps of: determining the gas content of a flow in the upstream duct feeding the first pump; and, when the value of the gas content in the upstream duct, as determined in the determining step, is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, modifying the flow rate of the flow feeding the first pump.

A method of regulating a feed circuit comprising at least a first pump and an upstream duct leading to the first pump, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining the gas content of a flow in the upstream duct feeding the first pump;
- and
- when the value of the gas content in the upstream duct, as determined in the determining step, is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, modifying the flow rate of the flow feeding the first pump.
A feed circuit comprising at least a pump and an upstream duct leading to the pump, a phase measurement tool disposed in the upstream duct, a flow rate adjustment device, and a calculation unit, said calculation unit being configured, when a gas content value measured by the phase measurement tool in the upstream duct is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, to control the flow rate adjustment device so as to modify the flow rate feeding the pump.
