German term

short sentence

German to English Tech/Engineering Infra-red flame detectors
Context: "Realisiert wird dies mit der im Blockschaltbild (siehe Abbildung 1-1) erkennbaren Brückenschaltung zweier Temperaturfühler mit den Widerständen Rsens und Rref." (That's capital "R" and "sens" and "ref" subscripted)

sentence: "Rsens ist frei der Luft ausgesetzt, Rref. hingegen thermisch isoliert."

Rsens is exposed to the ambient air, whilst Rref is thermally insulated.

Your context decribes a temperature measurement bridge, where one sensor (Rsens) measures the ambient temperature, and the signal is compared with the signal from a fixed, thermally insulated reference sensor (Rref).

The sensors are temperature-sensitive resistors, whereby the bridge detects the resistance changes, i.e. temperature changes.

R sens / R ref resistors

Declined
An R sens, R.sens or R SENS is a current sensing resistor.
An R ref, R.ref or R REF is a reference resistor.

agree Wolf Brosius (X) : as easy as that; R being the symbol for Widerstand.
