Abstract
An arrangement for utilizing a combustion sensor with an internal combustion engine. The arrangement includes a sensor mounted to the outside of an engine cylinder for communication with exhaust gasses within the cylinder via a sampling passage. A mounting structure holds the sensor proximate the sampling passage and forms a sensor chamber to receive exhaust gas therein. The sensor chamber includes a flow diverter to prevent remaining combustion particles and liquid droplets from lodging against the sensor. The chamber also includes a collection region for collecting the particles and liquid which can then be expunged through a drain outlet.
