PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling system configured to thermally insulate an object to be temperature-controlled from a fixing device, to prevent the space in the device from being compressed or cost from being increased, and to cool the object thermally insulated from the fixing device.SOLUTION: A cooling system 300 for cooling image forming means 18 to be temperature-controlled includes a vent hole 330 for taking outside air into the device body 100. Between the image forming means 18, etc. and a fixing apparatus 25, first and second flow passages 311, 313 of a first exhaust duct 310 are arranged. The first exhaust duct 310 includes the first flow passage 311, the second flow passage 313, a third flow passage 315a, a fourth flow passage 315b, and a fifth flow passage 317 each having openings for collecting the outside air received through the vent hole 330 through an area having the image forming means 18 and the like. An exhaust fan 321 for generating an air flow is disposed in the first exhaust duct 310. |
