Exhaust Gas System with a Gas Sensor, in Particular with a Particle Sensor

Abstract

An exhaust gas system includes an exhaust gas pipe through which exhaust gas flows in a flow direction and which has a pipe wall. A flange is arranged in the pipe wall and has a passage opening provided with an internal thread. A gas sensor, in particular a particle sensor, is provided for sensing the concentration of soot particles contained in the exhaust gas and has a threaded housing portion that is provided with an external thread and is screwed into the passage opening. An annular gap is produced between a radial outer face of the threaded housing portion and a passage-opening inner circumferential portion which protrudes into the interior of the exhaust gas pipe. The flange has a flow guiding element which extends over a downstream part of the circumference of the threaded housing portion and which is provided for limiting or largely preventing a flow around the gas sensor in the annular gap.
