<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vending machine for reducing power consumption by making coolant leaking from a solenoid valve closed during the pause of a heating operation flow to an evaporator without making it stay in a heating heat exchanger. <P>SOLUTION: This vending machine is provided with a plurality of merchandise cabinets 40a and 40b for cooling and heating, and a cooling circulation circuit 81 is configured of a compressor 61, a condenser 62, an expanding means 63, a distributor 64, a plurality of evaporators 65a, 65b, and 65c and a merging unit 73, and a heating/cooling circulation circuit 82 is configured of a compressor, heating heat exchangers 66a and 66b, an electronic expansion valve 79, a distributor, an evaporator, and a merging unit, and a coolant flow rate adjusting means (resistors 72a, 72b, 72c) is installed between the distributor and the merging unit. Thus, it is possible to perform an efficient heat pump operation by making appropriate coolant distribution to the evaporator. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
