Portuguese translation:compartimento para alimentos frescos
Explanation:
Lars, eu tambem nunca vi um compartimento assim no Brasil e uma pesquisa pelo google nao trouxe nada. Porem, fica aqui a minha ideia de algo que pode ser comparado talvez ao que voce ve na Suecia. Apesar do compartimento para alimentos frescos ficar dentro da geladeira. Aquela famosa gaveta onde a gente coloca legumes e verduras.

Bom trabalho! :)

cool cupboard
armário com ventilação natural/armário térmico (para alimentos)


Explanation:
The cool cupboard is an installation that refrigerates food with no electricity. It is similar to a conventional refrigerator in design: a vertical set of shelves enclosed in an insulated chamber. Placed on the ground floor, the bottom of the cool cupboard is open to the cavity beneath a house. A flue is opened through the top of the cupboard. This allows cool air to rise from beneath the house, keeping stored food cool, and eventually rise through the flue as it warms up.
http://www.appropedia.org/Cool_cupboard

A cool cupboard is designed to keep items cool by taking cool air from below the house and venting the hot air out of the top of the cupboard. Creating a cool cupboard next to your fridge and creating ventilation for both, will maximise air flow and help reduce energy bills.

Explanation:
Surely it is a small compartment under the fridge and not a `room under the refrigerator`
