Abstract:
An aftertreatment system comprises a particulate filter configured to filter PM possessing a predetermined, least effective size range included in an exhaust gas flowing through the aftertreatment system. A PM sensor assembly is positioned downstream of the particulate filter and includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, a sidewall and defines an internal volume. A PM sensor is positioned within the internal volume. The housing is configured to redirect a flow of exhaust gas entering the PM sensor assembly around the PM sensor so that small particles included in the exhaust gas flow having a first size within or smaller than the predetermined size range are directed around the particulate matter sensor. Large particles having a second size larger than the predetermined size range impact the PM sensor. A controller is communicatively coupled to the PM sensor.

Claim (Index 1):
An aftertreatment system, comprising:\n a particulate filter configured to filter particulate matter possessing a predetermined size range included in an exhaust gas flowing through the aftertreatment system; a particulate matter sensor assembly positioned downstream of the particulate filter, the particulate matter sensor assembly including:\n a housing having a single inlet, a single outlet and a sidewall, the housing defining an internal volume, and \n a particulate matter sensor positioned within the internal volume; and \n a controller communicatively coupled to the particular matter sensor, wherein the particulate matter sensor assembly is positioned within a flow path of the exhaust gas so that a portion of the exhaust gas enters the internal volume of the housing via the single inlet, wherein the housing is configured to redirect the flow of the portion of the exhaust gas around the particulate matter sensor such that small particles included in the portion of the exhaust gas flow having a first size within or smaller than the predetermined size range are directed around the particulate matter sensor, and large particles having a second size larger than the predetermined size range impact the particulate matter sensor.
