Claim:
1. A refrigeration system for a mobile unit, comprising: a refrigeration loop including a compressor, a condenser, a refrigerant regulator and an evaporator; a longitudinally extending air duct that directs air from an air inlet to the evaporator, which air duct is defined by first and second panels; a sensor disposed in the air duct; and a shock absorption unit that mounts the sensor to and provides a limited thermal conduction path between the sensor and the first panel, wherein the shock absorption unit is exposed to flow of the air through the air duct, and wherein the shock absorption unit comprises a spring element which laterally anchors the sensor to the first panel; wherein the spring element comprises a plurality of coils, and the coils are entirely disposed between the first panel and the sensor so as to measure air temperature during normal operation of the spring element.
