[0001] The present invention provides a centrifugal separator (100) for cleaning gas containing contaminants. The centrifugal separator (100) is comprising a stationary casing (210), enclosing a separation space (220) through which a gas flow is permitted; a gas inlet (112) and a gas outlet (114) for guiding the flow of gas through the stationary casing (210) to allow at least some of the contaminants to be separated from the flow of gas; a drainage outlet (215) configured to permit discharge of liquid contaminants that have been separated from the gas; a rotor (230) comprising a plurality of separation members (232) arranged in said separation space (220) and being arranged to rotate around an axis (X) of rotation; and a drive member (234) for rotating the rotor (230). The centrifugal separator (100) is arranged so that a main flow path for gas is formed from the gas inlet (112), through the stationary casing (210) and out through the gas outlet (114) and further comprises a chamber (20) enclosing a volume V that does not form part of the main flow path but is connected in a pressure-equalized manner with the main flow path. The centrifugal separator (100) further comprises a sensor (30) arranged to generate a signal indicative of the gas pressure in said volume V of said chamber (20).
