Abstract
A recording material cooling device includes a belt unit including a rotatable endless belt, belt stretching rollers, and a belt cooling member; a rotatable member for forming a nip between itself and the belt in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the belt and for nipping and feeding a recording material in the nip; a rotating unit capable of rotating the belt unit between a contact position where the belt and the rotatable member are in contact with each other so as to form the nip and a separated position where the belt and the rotatable member are in separation from each other so as to release the nip; and a fan unit including a fan for cooling the cooling member by generating airflow passing through the cooling member, the fan unit being rotatable together with the belt unit.
