Abstract
A centrifugal separator includes a rotor, and a control system. The control system includes a first and a second pressure sensor arranged at first and second radial positions in a separation space of the rotor. The first and second pressure sensors are positioned to be submerged in process liquid during operation of the centrifugal separator. A control unit of the control system is configured to determine a parameter of the process liquid within the separation space during operation of the centrifugal separator based on measurements from the first and second pressure sensors.
