New Radiators Not Working

You don't seem to understand the difference between 'pressure', which does not affect the motion of bubbles, and 'pressure gradients', which do. In this context, Boyle's law tells you that as the pressure in the system water is increased the bubbles of trapped air shrink in volume.

solubility of air in water...increase pressure..increase temperature...both increase solubility. So upping the pressure and temperature removes air locks as it dissolves the air in water. It's also known as Henry's law of solubility. You over think things bro

I really shouldn't rise to the bait of a straw man argument but anyway. . .

solubility of air in water...increase pressure..increase temperature...both increase solubility.

Wrong again. In the temperature range relevant to heating systems, the solubility of air in water decreases with increasing temperature.

So upping the pressure and temperature removes air locks as it dissolves the air in water.

If a system is air-locked at its normal operating temperature and pressure then the scope for increasing the pressure or reducing the temperature is too limited for this to be a viable way to fix the problem.

That must be the biggest load of crap I've heard on here.
