Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour déterminer au moins un paramètre d'un fluide s'écoulant dans une conduite, en particulier la masse d'air aspiré dans un moteur à combustion interne. Selon l'invention, les particules solides contenues dans la conduite sollicitent un élément de mesure et influent sur la courbe caractéristique de l'élément de mesure, laquelle est utilisée pour la détermination de paramètres du fluide en écoulement. Pour que la sollicitation exercée sur l'élément de mesure (45) par les particules solides soit réduite, ledit élément de mesure (45) est disposé, dans une conduite (3) ou un corps tubulaire (15), en aval d'une grille de protection (25), et, un élément (70), qui influe sur les trajectoires de déplacement (60) des particules solides, est disposé dans ladite conduite, sur une paroi intérieure (9, 19). Grâce à l'influence ciblée exercée sur les trajectoires de déplacement (60) des particules solides, la sollicitation exercée sur l'élément de mesure (45) est nettement réduite.
