EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The present disclosure relates to an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine. The exhaust system comprises an exhaust conduit adapted to fluidly connect the internal combustion engine to a turbine of a turbo and a valve comprising a valve flap located in the exhaust conduit in a position between the internal combustion engine and the turbine. The valve flap is pivotally connected to at least a portion of the exhaust conduit. The exhaust system further comprises an actuator adapted to impart a load on at least a portion of the valve to thereby control a pivotal position of the valve flap in the exhaust conduit to thereby control a gas flow via the exhaust conduit and an actuator load sensor adapted to detect load information indicative of a magnitude of the load that the actuator currently imparts on at least the portion of the valve.
