Zusammenfassung:	A refrigerant sensor assembly having a body including an outer surface. A recessed portion may be included on or formed in the body. The recessed portion may include the outer surface. The recessed portion may have a curved, generally convex shape having an upwardly facing open end and a lowest portion or bottom opposite the upwardly facing open end. A sensor suitable for detecting the presence of a refrigerant (e.g., a lower GWP refrigerant and/or an A2L refrigerant) and/or certain specified chemical compounds (e.g., hydrofluorocarbons) (e.g., a refrigerant sensor) may be disposed at the bottom of the recessed portion. Alternatively an enclosed collection space may be located beneath the recessed portion. An aperture or opening may be formed through the recessed portion and may adjoin the recessed portion with the collection space. A refrigerant sensor alternatively may be disposed in the collection space.
