Abstract
A sensor assembly for use within a flow conduit, the flow conduit configured to receive a treated exhaust of an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle, includes an exhaust sensor positioned within the flow conduit between the upstream and downstream ends. Moreover, the exhaust sensor is configured to detect an amount of an emission gas present in the treated exhaust. The sensor assembly further includes a sensor shield positioned within the flow conduit upstream of the exhaust sensor. The sensor shield includes a hub and a plurality of flow divider beams extending from the hub. Additionally, the sensor shield creates a wake area downstream of the hub within which a turbulent exhaust flow is generated as the treated exhaust is directed past the sensor shield. Furthermore, the exhaust sensor is configured to receive the turbulent exhaust flow from the wake area.
