Abstract: A virtual heat metering system (10), includes sensors (12, 14, 16, 18, 20), adapted to be associated with a supply circuit of a central thermal installation (I) and arranged for supplying main signals (Qman., Tman., Trit., Pman., Prit., s) indicative of physical quantities representing the operation of the supply circuit (C) in a predetermined period of time (?tTOT). A control apparatus (22), includes a memory module (23) arranged for storing a thermal and fluid dynamic model (M) defined initially and representing the central thermal installation (I), identified on the basis of physical quantities representing the operation of the supply circuit (C) and the heat exchanger devices (H1,1, . . . , H1,n1; H2,1, . . . , H2,n2; . . . ; Hm,1, . . . , Hm,nm), detected in specified conditions of operation and stimulation of the installation (I); and data representing the variation of said main signals (Qman., Tman., Trit., Pman., Prit., s) in the period of time (?TOT).
