Abstract

A cooler cabinet comprises: a storage compartment () for food or beverage products (); a dispensing mechanism () for dispensing the food or beverage products () from the storage compartment without opening the storage compartment to ambient air; a water-retaining material () outside the storage compartment but in contact with it; an air channel () in contact with the water-retaining material; and means () for moving air through the air channel such that the air increases the rate of evaporation of water from the water-retaining material. It thereby withdraws heat from the water-retaining material and causes cooling of the interior of the cabinet, including the food or beverage products.
