Sensor holder having a container with a projection for collecting fluid samples in a machine for cleansing articles

A turbidity sensor holder system for a machine for cleansing articles, said holder system comprising:

• a container attached to an outer surface of a wall of said machine for cleansing articles, said container including a projection extending at a predetermined distance away from an inner surface of said wall, said projection including a respective plurality of collector channels situated to collect fluid flowing along said inner surface and at least one vent channel;
• a reservoir substantially located within said container, said vent channel in said projection situated to vent said reservoir;
• a reservoir inlet located adjacent to a first end of said container;
• a reservoir outlet located adjacent to a second end of said container, said reservoir inlet and outlet being in spaced relationship with respect to one another;
• a turbidity sensor fluidly coupled to said reservoir outlet at a predetermined distance from said reservoir outlet;
• a fluid outlet fluidly coupled to said turbidity sensor and located in said wall of said machine for cleansing articles;
• and
• a fluid conduit for coupling said reservoir outlet, said turbidity sensor and said fluid outlet.
