COOLING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling system for an automatic vending machine capable of satisfactorily cooling an electronic equipment part disposed on a front door without causing an increase in a manufacturing cost and without requiring an installation space for the cooling system. SOLUTION: A blowing fan 8 for cooling a condenser 7 is rotated reversely to blow outside air sucked in from an air outlet 13 toward the rear face of a front door 10. This can discharge air of high temperature around the rear face of the front door 10 of the electronic equipment part 14 or the like out of the automatic vending machine to cool the electronic equipment part 14 or the like disposed on the front door 10. Since outside air temperature around the air outlet 13 is generally lower than that outside air temperature around an air inlet 12, it is possible to efficiently cool the electronic equipment part 14 on the front door 10 down to low temperature. An increase in a manufacturing cost is not brought about because the blowing fan 8 for cooling the condenser 7 is also used as a device for cooling the electronic equipment part 14.
