ABSTRACT:
A vending machine apparatus (32) comprising a housing defining an internal cavity and an article storage area (76) positioned inside the cavity. The article storage area (76) has a cooling unit associated therewith for cooling the article storage area (76). A thermal barrier (12) is disposed within the housing and positioned between an outer perimeter of the article storage area (76) and the remainder of the internal cavity so as to substantially divide the internal cavity into first and second thermally separated sections (17a–b), with the cooling unit being located in the first section (17a). An opening in a portion of the housing is located in at least one of the first or second sections (17a–b), and a first air moving device is positioned in one of the first or second sections (17a–b) for causing an air flow path which removes heat developed by the cooling unit, from the first section inside the cavity.
