"Die neuen Stufenkühleinsätze
Optimiert für die Kühlung von offenen Lebensmitteln
Sehr gute Kühlung durch tiefen ***Kältesee***
Geringe Austrocknung durch großen Verdampfer und geringe Luftgeschwindigkeit
Für bis zu 18 cm hohe Waren geeignet
Optimierte Lösungen für Torten, Fleisch, Käse und Feinkost
Der Liftverdampfer
Einfache Reinigung des Wannenbodens
Der Innenraum der Kühlwanne ist so einfach zugänglich. Da der Verdampfer unterhalb des Warenbodens hängt, kann der Wannenboden einfach gereinigt werden."
From a catalogue for catering equipment (food counters and the like). I haven't got any idea whatsoever what is meant by "Kältesee" and can't find it in any dictionary either. TIA for any light you can shed on this obscure term.

heat sink / cold reservoir
a thought
a heat sink can be seen as a device which absorbs heat from a hot object, much the same as a cold reservoir (a "source of cold"). Maybe that explains the German See?
By no means sure.

Michele Fauble
: In refrigeration, the cold area is, in fact, called a 'cold reservoir'. (But there is no "source of cold", cold merely being lack of heat.)

Comment: "Michele's comment has swung my decision Cilian's way. I'm going to use "cold reservoir". Reservoir sounds closest to the German "See" idea in any case. But the other suggestions all seemed very sound to me as well. So thank you all very much for your assistance - I greatly appreciate it and would have been utterly lost without it!"

German term (edited):
K�ltesee
cold zone / area
it's an enclosed area where cold air (which of course tends to descend) accumulates; maybe others will have better suggestions

refrigerating zone/cold-air zone/cold area
We usually talk about "Kaltluftsee" which means an enclosed area of cold air (both in construction (floor heating) and metereology), perhaps sb. will know a correct translation for Kaltluftsee.
Discussion
"Ideales Klima f�r Sahnetorten
Der sich durch die stufenf�rmige Konstruktion ergebende sogenannte �K�ltesee� ist ein unbedingtes Muss f�r empfindliche Sahnetorten. Zusammen mit der gro�en Verdampferoberfl�che ergibt sich eine hohe Feuchtigkeit f�r schonende K�hlung."
"Gastro-Norm-Beh�lter aus Edelstahl
Deckel f�r GN-Beh�lter
GN-Zwischensteg 1/1
Ausstellbleche
Ausf�hrung: Komplett aus Edelstahl, Oberfl�che gl�nzend. 4-seitig aufgekantet, Ecken offen.
Snack-St�nder
F�r die Pr�sentation von Snacks. Komplett aus Edelstahl, Ausf�hrung mit 7 F�chern.
Anmerkung: Nur f�r Umluftk�hleins�tze mit hohem ***K�ltesee*** geeignet (Stufenk�hleins�tze, B�cker-Snack VT-HB, ...)
Besteckk�cher"
So it's not a typo, but it truly is the weirdest expression. Any ideas?
