Abstract: A particulate sensor includes: an inner metallic member which is maintained at a first potential and which has a gas introduction pipe into which a target gas is introduced; a tubular outer metallic member which surrounds the radially outer circumference of the inner metallic member and which is attached to a gas flow pipe to thereby be maintained at a ground potential; and an insulating spacer which is interposed between the inner metallic member and the outer metallic member so as to electrically insulate them from each other and which has a tubular gas contact portion which is exposed to the interior of the gas flow pipe and comes into contact with the gas under measurement. The insulating spacer has a heater for heating the gas contact portion. The heater includes a heat generation resistor embedded in the insulating spacer.

Abstract: A particulate sensor (1) which detects particulates S contained in a gas under measurement (EG) flowing within a gas flow pipe (EP) has a space forming portion (12) and an ion source (15). The space forming portion (12) projects into the gas flow pipe EP and forms an internal space MX. The space forming portion (12) has an introduction port (43I) and a discharge port (48O) for discharging from the internal space MX the gas EGI introduced through the introduction port (43I). The source (15) produces ions CP by gaseous discharge. The space forming portion (12) is configured such that the introduced gas EGI is discharged from the internal space MX through the discharge port (48O), the gas under measurement EG is introduced into the internal space MX through the introduction port (43I), and the introduced gas EGI is mixed with the ions CP produced by the ion source (15).

Abstract: A particulate sensor (1) includes an ion source (15) and a reference potential member (45). The particulate sensor (1) detects particulates S contained in a gas under measurement EG by means of ions CP. The ion source (15) includes a ceramic structure (100) having a ceramic laminate (101) and a discharge electrode member (110). The discharge electrode member (110) has an inter-layer portion (112A, 111) embedded between the layers of the ceramic laminate (101) and an exposed portion (112B) extending from the inter-layer portion (112A, 111) to a position outside the ceramic laminate (101). The discharge electrode member (110) generates the gaseous discharge between the reference potential member (45) and the exposed portion (112B) including one or more needle-shaped distal end portions (1125) upon application of a constant DC discharge potential PV2.
