- the tabs 16c are then contained between the outer surface of the element 18 and the inner surface of the corresponding part of passage 2b of the body 2a, as may be seen also in Figure 10.
- the body of the part 3 for electrical connection has a hollow lower region, delimited by a bottom wall 20 and a peripheral wall 21 , the end of which is configured for coupling between the walls 5a and 5b of the body 2a of the part 2.

- the element 12 is kept in position via the piojection 14, and in particular its flange portion 14a
- said projection also defines the terminal portion 15 of the duct for delivery of the fluid, also including the portion 19 defined in the second compensation element 18
- the presence of the seal or O- ⁇ ng 10 delimits, within the cavity 1 1 , a chamber 30 ( Figures 4, 6 and 7), together with the exposed surfaces of the portion 6, the chamber of which is in fluid communication with the duct 15, 19 for delivery of the fluid
- the fluid is represented schematically by the arrows It should be considered that, in operative conditions, the fluid is undergoing only slight displacement, or it is in piactically static conditions (consequently, also the ensuing references as regards the path followed by the fluid have the sole purpose of clarifying how the fluid itself can be in contact with or exert pressure on the membrane 9a of the pressure-sensitive component)
- the fluid penetrates or flows in the passage 2b of the body 2a via the inlet defined by the lower end of the passage itself
- the fluid By means of the axial grooves 16e formed in the lower part 16a of the insert 16, the fluid reaches the slits defined between the tabs 16c and then penetrates within the hollow part of the insert itself
- the fluid can then occupy the channels defined between the projections 16f and thus reach the cavity 19 of the element 18
- the fluid can in this way occupy also the cavity of the projection 14 and then the chamber 30 ( Figure 7), the pressure of the fluid then acts on the membrane portion 9a of the body of the sensitive component 9
- the fluid In
- the consequent bending of the membiane portion 9a causes a co ⁇ esponding deformation of the detection element R of Figuie 13, and hence a variation of the lesistive characteristics thereof
- a signal representing the piessure value of the fluid is generated to the terminals 9b of the element 9 Said signal, amplified and/or processed in a way in itself known by suitable electronic components of the circuit 24, reaches the terminals 23, which are electrically connected to a wiring (not represented) connected to a suitable control unit, for example an electronic control unit of a vehicle or a system for checking emissions of nitrogen oxides.
- part of the fluid being measured can accumulate within the chamber 30 and within the duct of the fluid through the body 2a; in conditions of low ambient temperature, said accumulated fluid can freeze and thus increase in volume.
- the fact that the cavity 1 1 of the sensitive component 9 is occupied to a prevalent extent by the components referred to above has as a consequence that the useful volume in which the fluid can accumulate is reduced.
- the provision of minimum sections of passage determined by the grooves 16e, and/or the slits 16d, and/or the channels 16g ( Figure 10), has the function of determining preferential areas of start of freezing of the fluid within the corresponding duct.
- the aforementioned minimum sections of passage 16e, 16d, 16g - basically creating capillary passages - that will tend to form initially a sort of "ice plug" in a position relatively distant from the membrane portion 9a, but in the immediate vicinity of the second compensation element 18.
- a similar function is performed, to a certain extent, also by the portion of duct 15 of small section, which is also in the immediate proximity of the compensation element 18 and/or the compensation element 12.
- the aforesaid ice plugs in the pipes 16e, 16d, 16g, 15 can form in the first steps of freezing of the fluid, contributing to countering any expansion due to the subsequent more extensive freezing of the fluid, in particular of the fluid present in portion of duct of larger section.
- said plugs can constitute a sort of "'spontaneous barrier" both to prevent any further inflow of fluid into the areas that risk failure and to counter the thrust in the direction of the membrane 9a of frozen masses of significant volume
- the element 12 that intervenes in the sense of compensating for the increase in volume of the limited part of fluid present in the chamber 30
- Illustrated in Figures 15-20 is a first alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention
- the refeience numbers of Figuies 1-14 are used to designate elements that are technically equivalent to the ones alieady desc ⁇ bed above
- the means for positioning the compensation element 12 is represented by a tubular insert made of ⁇ gid material, for example thermoplastic or metal mate ⁇ al, designated as a whole by 17
- the ⁇ gid insert 17 has a tubular section 17a, partially inserted (for example via screwing) in a respective part of the passage 2b formed in the body 2a, and in particular a part of passage that traverses the portions 5 and 6 axially Fitted on the region of the tubular part 17a that is not inserted in the portion 6 is the compensation element 12

- the freezing of the fluid tends then to propagate or proceed towards the part of the duct B, C having a wider diameter, i e , the part opposite to the membrane portion 9a
- the presence of the second compensation element 18 further reduces the risks of damage to the device 1 , since it enables compensation of the freezing of the fluid also on the opposite side with respect to the pressure-sensitive component
- FIG. 21-23 Illustrated in Figures 21-23 is a third embodiment of the device according to the invention Also in said figuies, the reference numbers of the previous figures are used to designate elements that are technically equivalent to the ones already desc ⁇ bed
- the device 1 comprises just one compensation element 12 within the cavity 1 1 of the sensitive component 9
- the body 2a has an axial passage 2b of diameter largei than that ot the previous embodiments, within which both a compensation element 12 and a iigid insert, designated by 1 17, aie inserted
- the upper end of the terminal portion 6 is formed so as to prevent it from sliding out towards the outside of the compensation element 12 Provided for said purpose in the example of Figure 23 aie transveise diaphragms 6b, which delimit a plurality of axial passages.
- the insert 1 17 is fitted from beneath into the body 2a so that positioned between its top and the diaphragms 6b is the element 12.
- the insert 1 17 has a protruding upper projection 1 17a ( Figures 22-23), traversed axially by a stretch of capillary duct A.

- Operation of the device according to the third embodiment is similar to that of the second embodiment; as has been said, however, in the case represented, the device does not comprise the compensation element 18.
- FIGS 24-27 are schematic cross-sectional illustrations of further possible embodiments of the invention. Also in said figures, the reference numbers of the previous figures are used to designate elements that are technically equivalent to the ones already described.
- the fourth embodiment of Figure 24 is conceptually similar to that of Figures 15-20, but with the difference that, in this case, the insert 17 has a top flange portion 17b that is basically circular and having a reduced diameter, and does not define a stretch of capillary duct, or it comprises only a duct that is substantially equivalent to the aforesaid stretch of duct B.
- the washer 13 is not envisaged in so far as the seat for the seal or O- ring 10 is formed by a groove provided in the portion 6 of the body 2a.
- the two compensation elements 12 and 18 are configured in a single piece, designated as a whole by 40.
- an intermediate portion of the piece 40 of restricted diameter, so as to provide a groove in which a corresponding region of the portion 6 of the body 2a engages.
- the sealing means 10 operate between the face of the body of the sensitive component 9 onto which the cavity 1 1 opens, preferably a face that is at least in part plane, and the intermediate flange-shaped part 5 of the body 2a, also this part being provided with a face that is at least in part plane.
- the duct for delivery of the fluid is entirely formed in the piece 40.
- the piece 40 could be provided with an inte ⁇ nediate part, which connects the two compensation elements 12 and 18 and does not form a stretch of the duct for the fluid, said intermediate part being preferably at least partially within the portion 6 ot the body 2a
- the single piece 40 can be made separately and subsequently mounted on the body 2a, exploiting the elasticity of the material used
- the piece 40 is obtained via moulding or over- moulding of material, preferably of a foamed type
- Over-moulding is, for example, obtained directly on a part of the body 2a or of the casing of the device according to the invention, in particular at least partially inside of the portions 4, 6, or else on a corresponding insert
- the intermediate part of the single piece 40 inside the portion 6 of the body 2a can for example be made of moulding matenal, which fills purposely provided channels present in the body 2a, said channels extending between the areas for housing the two compensation elements 12 and 18 Said channels are exploited for passage of the moulding matenal, which subsequently hardens and forms the afoiesaid intermediate part
- the piece 40 could, however, be moulded in another way, also lor the purpose ol providing corresponding projections or elements for fixing to the body 2a of the device 1
- the cavity of the sensitive component 9 is occupied in part by the terminal portion 6 of the body 2a, on the top of which is positioned or fixed a compensation element 12, loi example via gluing or welding or moulding hi the case ot a simple positioning, the compensation element can be kept in position, possibly slightly compressed, between a surface of the terminal portion 6 and at least one surface of the sensitive component 9
- a second compensation element 18 which, however, could be absent
- the duct for the fluid is formed in part by the axial cavity of the compensation elements 12, 18 and in part by a stretch of the axial passage 2b of the body 2a
- the cavity of the sensitive component is instead prevalently occupied by a compensation element 12 with a thickness or height increased with respect to the previous embodiments
- Said element 12 is positioned or fixed - for example via gluing - on the top of the portion 6, which in this case projects only to a minoi extent within the aforesaid cavity 1 1 , alternatively, the portion 6 could be outside the cavity 1 1 or even absent
- the duct for deli vei ing the fluid is formed in part by the axial cavities of the compensation elements 12 and
- the sealing element 10 is mounted in a position similar to the one described with reference to the example of Figure 25, i e , between two substantially plane opposite faces ot the sensitive element 9 and ot the flange- shaped wall of the portion 5
- a compensation element within the cavity of the sensitive component reduces considerably the risks of damage to the corresponding membrane portion and/or to the detection element associated thereto.
- the fact that said cavity is occupied to a substantial extent by the compensation element and/or by portions of the structure that supports the sensitive component reduces the volume allowed for stagnation of fluid subject to possible freezing
- capillary passages or in any case passages of reduced section, in the fluid duct, when they are envisaged, makes it possible to impose beforehand, with a relative precision, one or more regions in which the fluid will start to freeze, with the possibility of subsequently developing freezing in the parts of duct with wider section, or in a direction opposite to the membrane portion of the sensitive component
- the compensation element 12 could be prearranged also in order to provide the functions of the sealing element pieviously designated by 10
- the element 12 could comprise at least one deformable pe ⁇ pheial part that performs functions of O-nng, of a diameter such as to be able to inteifere decidedly with respect to the pe ⁇ pheial wall 1 Ib of the pressure- sensitive component 9 and/or with parts of the body or casing of the device 1 and/or corresponding inserts
- the compensation element or elements could be made ot silicone, of a foamed or non-foamed type, or else silicone mixed with air bubbles, for example poured and left to harden in a mould or approp ⁇ ate seat
- the compensation elements can be configured in a single piece, and/or made separately and/or moulded over the body 2a
- inserts provided for the body 2a for example the insert 17, can be moulded over the body itself, with modalities that aie basically similar to the ones ieferred to above in relation to the over-moulding of the compensation element 12
