Spanish term
Compartimiento de depósito
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Furniture / Household Appliances
Household appliances: Refrigerators and freezers
Hello fellow translators,
I hope you are able to help me out with this term "Compartimiento de depósito". I'm translating a technical standard intended for manufacturers from Spanish into English (US).
So it reads as follows:
Esta norma técnica definirá los requisitos de calidad para refrigeradores y sus compartimientos:
- Compartimiento de almacenamiento de alimentos frescos
- Compartimiento de almacenamiento de alimentos congelados
- Compartimiento de enfriamiento
- Compartimiento de baja temperatura
- Compartimiento para fabricación de hielo
- Compartimiento de depósito
I've found some technical standards in English and I've been able to determine the translation of all the above except for "Compartimiento de depósito":
This technical standard will define the quality requirements for refrigerators and their compartments:
- Fresh food storage compartment
- Frozen food storage compartment
- Cooling compartment
- Low-temperature compartment
- Ice production compartment
- "Compartimiento de depósito"
I initially thought of translating it as "Storage compartment" but that would clearly cause confusion to the reader; another option I've thought of is "Tank compartment" but I'm not quite sure as I have been unable to find such compartment in English documents relating to refrigerators; I must say I have also been unable to find what a "Compartimiento de depósito" is in any Spanish documents as well; it seems they call it like this in this document only and they never explain what it is exactly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Comment: "Not really the answer. I used "storage compartment" and left the word storage out from the remaining terms. I chose this answer because is the best supported one."

ice storage compartment
I think it's the place the ice stored on a fridge with an automatic ice maker.

: Seems likely since it comes after ice-making compartment.

: You should provide some references, but yes, this is usually mentioned in conjunction with "hielo".

Well, as I understand this "compartimiento de depósito" might use up shared space with the fresh food storage compartment; so I don't think it would be the ice storage compartment because of the temperature; a wild guess is it might be that lower compartment where you keep a large drawer (at home we usually place fruit and vegetables which do not perish so easily so they don't require a very cold temperature)...What do you guys think? Any other ideas?
