The refrigerant is recovered in the compressor 8 and the condenser 9 of FIG. 5 and in a piping circuit so that the flammable refrigerant does not stay in the evaporators 14 to 16. Therefore, the evaporators 14 to 16 and the heating heaters 17 to 19
In the storages 2 to 4 of the vending machine as a predetermined place which are arranged so as to be able to cool and heat,
Since the combustible refrigerant hardly stays in the evaporators 14 to 16 for cooling when the products in the storage are warmed by the steps 19 to 19, the flammable refrigerant may leak into the storage by mistake from the evaporator. And the surface temperature of the heating heaters 17 to 19 is set to be lower than the ignition point of the flammable refrigerant. The ignition of the flammable refrigerant can be prevented.

に、地球温暖化防止を図ることができる。Particularly, in the present invention, the heat exchangers 14a to 16a
The heat exchangers 14a to 16a are located in the secondary refrigerant circuits of the refrigeration cycle in the storages 2 to 4 of the vending machine, which are predetermined positions where the heaters 17b to 19b are arranged so as to be capable of cooling and heating. Since the refrigerant of the antifreeze liquid is sealed, the heat exchangers 14a to 14a-1
Even if the refrigerant leaks accidentally from 6a, the problem such as the flammable refrigerant does not occur, so that it can be made extremely safe, and it is not necessary to consider that the heating heaters 17b to 19b also suppress ignition of the flammable refrigerant. Therefore, it is possible to perform a design in which only heating is taken into consideration, and it is possible to efficiently heat the storage and to prevent global warming.

First, even when the flammable refrigerant leaks, ignition is suppressed because the amount is small.
