mekhiRAT mekhoNOT keRUR
Explanation:
mekhirat = sale/selling of
mekhonot = machines [of]
kerur = refrigeration

if this is the sense asked about.

I was thinking: in German, for example, refrig. machines = Kaeltemaschinen, with Kaelte=cold as a noun (like 'the deep cold'). Not how I'd automatically put it in English - could you please explain?
Thanks.

neutral  Sue Goldian: It's not an exact translation at all, although it might very well be what the asker meant. An exact translation would be mekhirat mekhonot karot, which makes no sense in Hebrew or in English.
