Abstract
A pressure measurement apparatus for an engine is provided. The pressure measurement apparatus includes a gas flow path component of one of an intake system or an exhaust system, and a differential pressure sensor having a sensor body defining first and second pressure ports, wherein the sensor body is configured to cooperate with an opening in a wall of the gas flow path component so that at least one of the first and second pressure ports terminates inside the gas flow path component in an assembled configuration.
Claims11
A pressure measurement apparatus for an engine, the pressure measurement apparatus comprising:
- a first gas flow path component of one of an intake system or an exhaust system;
- a differential pressure sensor having a sensor body defining a first pressure port and a second pressure port, wherein the sensor body is configured to cooperate with an opening in a wall of the first gas flow path component so that the first pressure port terminates inside the first gas flow path component and the second pressure port terminates outside of the first gas flow path component in an assembled configuration;
- and
- a duct configured to connect the second pressure port to a second gas flow path component of the intake system or the exhaust system.
A differential pressure sensor for an intake system or an exhaust system of an engine, the differential pressure sensor comprising:
- a sensor body including a first pressure port and a second pressure port, wherein the first pressure port is configured to engage with an opening in a wall of a gas flow path component of the intake system or the exhaust system so that the first pressure port terminates inside the gas flow path component and the second pressure port terminates outside of the gas flow path component in an assembled configuration.
