Exhaust sensor arrangement structure

Abstract

Air required for measurement of exhaust gas components is supplied to an exhaust sensor without using a device for generating positive pressure. In a structure for arrangement, in an engine (), of an exhaust sensor () that measures exhaust gas components and requires air for the measurement of the exhaust gas components, an exhaust pipe () of the engine () communicates with the exhaust sensor () through an introduction pipe (), the exhaust sensor () communicates with an intake pipe () of the engine () through a discharge pipe (), and an atmosphere pipe () open to the atmosphere is connected to the exhaust sensor (), so that exhaust gas is sucked into the exhaust sensor () through the introduction pipe () while air is sucked into the exhaust sensor () through the atmosphere pipe () due to intake negative pressure generated during an intake stroke of the engine ().
