Exhaust system for the combustion gases of an internal combustion engine
First Claim
1. An exhaust system for the combustion gases of an internal combustion engine, comprising an exhaust manifold, means for discharging said gases, connected to said manifold and likely to clog up, and a pressure sensor communicating with said manifold, wherein said discharge means are flameproof and comprise first means for arresting the particles contained in said gases and comprising means for placing said pressure sensor in communication with said manifold, said communication means comprising second means for arresting the incandescent particles contained in said gases, disposed outside the discharge means of said gases.

Abstract
An exhaust system for the combustion gases of an internal combustion engine is provided comprising a pressure sensor detecting the increase of the back pressure of the gases inside an exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine, which back pressure results from the clogging up of a first flameproof stack, or any other device of this type, for discharging the gases. The pressure sensor communicates with the exhaust manifold through a second flame proof stack placed outside the discharge path of the combustion gases.
