A liquid container (400) for containing a liquid is proposed. The liquid container (400) comprises a seat (148) for housing a liquid filtering unit (139) adapted to filter said liquid, a flowing section (148), through which said liquid is made to flow, and a sensing arrangement comprising at least one probe element (457) responsive to the presence of liquid and coupled or couplable with a data processing element (442). The liquid container further comprises a liquid flow-regulating element (139; 460) associated with the flowing section (148) and adapted to impose a predetermined flow rate ( ff, ff', fr) to a flow of liquid flowing through the flowing section (148) and wherein the sensing arrangement is configured to measure a time interval (ti, t' j , t" k ) during which the liquid flows through the flowing section (148) at said predetermined flow rate, the data processing element (442) being configured to calculate a volume (Vol i , Vol' j , Vol" k ) of liquid flowed through the flowing section (148) based on the measured time interval (ti, t' j , t" k ) and the predetermined flow rate (ff, ff', fr), said volume of flowed liquid being related to the volume of liquid filtered by said liquid filtering unit. |
