A cooler cabinet comprises a storage compartment 130 for food or beverage products 144, a dispensing mechanism 143 for dispensing the food or beverage products from the storage compartment without opening the storage compartment to ambient air, a water-retaining material 120 outside the storage compartment but in contact with it, an air channel 111 in contact with the water-retaining material, and means 114 for moving air through the air channel such that the air increases the rate of evaporation of water from the water-retaining material. In use, it is designed such that heat is withdrawn from the water-retaining material, thus causing cooling of the interior of the cabinet, including the food or beverage products. |
