cool storage
Chilled holding space
Cool storage is a facility or method for keeping perishable goods at low but above-freezing temperatures.
Unlike cold storage, which freezes items, cool storage maintains temperatures that slow spoilage without ice crystals forming: The apples went into cool storage after harvest.
The term applies to warehouses, refrigerated containers, and climate-controlled rooms used for produce, wine, or pharmaceuticals.
