Arrangement of atmospheric temperature sensor for vehicle and method of measuring atmospheric temperature

摘要

An air temperature sensor arrangement (30) for a vehicle (2) includes a temperature sensor housing (32) having a base portion (34), an inlet (36) and an outlet (52). Also included is a main flow path (44) defined by a continuously curvilinear wall (54), the main flow path (44) extending from the inlet (36) to the outlet (52) for separating particulate matter (42) from an inlet airflow (40). Further included is a temperature sensor (50) disposed within an internal cavity (48) of the temperature sensor housing (52).
