Füllraum / Zusatzfüllraum

English translation: extra/add'l chamber

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Other / bottles, containers
German term or phrase: Füllraum / Zusatzfüllraum
This is about the Füllraum (which I called fill space) of a bottle, IOW where the beverage goes. The Zusatzfüllraum is an extra space inside the bottle (accessible from the outside), where you can put something else.

"...Flasche, die mindestens einen weiteren, separaten Zusatzfüllraum aufweist, der...."

I'm not sure how to translate Zusatzfüllraum, esp. since I already have "an additional, separate..." Of course, I could say, "another" or "an extra" for "weiteren," but I'm still not happy with "add'l fill space."
Any ideas?

This is hard to grade. I ended up simply calling it "add'l space." Compartment was another option, that's why I'm giving the points to Cilian :-)

Johanna is right. You need to say something like \"additional space\" or \"extra space\" or \"separate fill area.\"

agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: that was my initial thought , --- but does this really denote that it's a * separate* space?
