A sensor module includes a housing having a first cavity and a second cavity that are in communication with each other, a liquid level sensing module mounted on the housing and sensing liquid level related information when liquid flows into the second cavity, a turbidity sensing module mounted on a section of the housing having the first cavity, and a temperature sensing module integrated with the turbidity sensing module and sensing temperature related information of the liquid when the liquid flows into the first cavity. The turbidity sensing module includes a light transmitting unit and a light receiving unit that are located on opposite sides of the first cavity to allow light emitted from the light transmitting unit to pass through the first cavity and to be received by the light receiving unit.

A pump having a drive unit with an electric motor, a hydraulic unit connected to the electric motor, and an integrated control unit operatively connected to the electric motor and configured for monitoring and controlling the pump. An integrated pressure sensor, connected to the control unit, has a fixed reference pressure. The control unit determines a liquid level of a liquid surrounding the pump based on a relation between an actual value of the pressure sensor and a reference value. A method for calibrating the pump comprises initiating pumping, continuing pumping until the liquid level is equal to a predetermined calibration level, determining the actual pressure value when the liquid level is equal to the predetermined calibration level, and calibrating the pump by setting a new reference pressure value corresponding to the actual pressure value.

An apparatus for measuring dewatering in the wet end of a paper machine includes a measuring receptacle functioning at normal air pressure, in which receptacle the amount of the water of the negatively-pressurized dewatering points of the paper machine is measured by means of a pressure-difference transmitter and of a measuring weir.

An extracorporeal blood circulation system monitors blood level in a reservoir which temporarily stores the blood. A memory storage unit stores blood pressure measurements from a pressure sensor monitoring a blood pressure within a tube unit conveying blood from the reservoir relative to atmosphere. A processing unit that detects a height of a top surface of the blood stored in the reservoir based on changes in the blood pressure measurements and a conservation of mechanical energy of a blood flow inside the tube unit. A notification is generated if an abnormality is detected in the height of the blood in the reservoir.
