cellule de refroidissement

Kitchen equipment
This is an item in a table under the subheading "MATERIEL DE CUISINE". A Google image search for this term shows refrigerated units of various sizes. At first, I thought it might be "cold room", but it appears to be smaller than that (i.e. not one that you could walk into). Also, a further subheading is "CHAMBRES FROIDES", so I presume that's the "cold room". It doesn't say "cellule de refroidissement RAPIDE", so I don't think it's a freezer...
Other items in that section are "Friteuse", "Combisteamer", "Sauteuses", "Marmites" and "Fourneaux".
"Cooling cell" doesn't seem right. "Cooling unit", maybe (although that makes me think of air-conditioning equipment)? Is it just a fancy name for a big fridge?! As I don't have any further context, I think I need a term that's quite general/vague! Any suggestions?
Many thanks!

blast chiller
I think this is what you are looking for. Something to cool hot food/drink quickly, rather than somewhere to store them once cold

There certainly seem to be lots of links giving the two terms. Here's another

Cooling compartment
I think compartment sounds better than unit or cell.

: I this is an item on its own it could not be a compartment.

: This is a very specific piece of professional catering equipment, nothing to do with a mere "compartment"

cooler
I also found "cooler" for chambre froide in le Grand dictionnaire du Québec. So various words or phrases to choose from...
Peer comment(s):

Tony M
: Although that could apply to a refrigerator or ice-box, I'm afraid this general term would not be correct for this very specific professional appliance.

: If you can see the actual equipment I'd be inclined to use "cooler" or "chiller". See this link: http://www.ckitchen.com/commercial/refrigerators-freezers.ht...

One type of appliance
Here's a typical example:
http://www.friginox.com/restauration/?c=23
This is identified as a fast-cooling device, but in practice, most of them are pretty fast, that's the whole point of them!
In professional kitchens, it is forbidden to simply freeze food by bunging it in the deep-freeze, the only method allowed is to use one of these things.
