What keeps the soda from freezing in a vending machine that sits outside in the winter?

Question

Do they have little heaters in them too?

Answer 1

Heaters? That's funny.
No, all the worlds vending machines are constantly monitored and linked by an enormous network of tunnels. This huge labyrinth is constantly manned by an army of pygmies in small rocket powered cars. Should a machine be under potential threat of a freezy-up situation, a pygmy is dispatched immediately and administers a small blast of hot air from a blow torch into a flap under the machine.
Tsk..tsk, heaters ?

Answer 2

The soda machines maintain a certain temp. And should not be effected by outside temps. No, they don't have little heaters in them. The soda machines are insulated to try to keep out the heat & the cold. Hope this helped you.

Answer 3

The same insulation that keeps the cold inside during the summer keeps the contents from freezing in the winter. You also have heat added from such things as the lights for the advertisement and the compressor that runs the refrigeration's system that adds heat into the cabinet.

Answer 4

No the soda machine has little soda elves that run from the top to the bottom of the machine and the heat from them running inside of the machine keeps the soda from freezing.

Answer 5

they're insulated, so they don't all freeze. But i've filled pop machines before and was told that if you fill them to the top the ones on the top can freeze, so you just can't fill them all the way up. But the insulation keeps the rest from freezing

Answer 6

The same insulation and coolent in the unit that is designed to keep the drinks cold is also insulating the drinks from the freezing outside temperatures. ..go figure.

Answer 7

They aren't all eaqual I bought a soda that was frozen solid. So, I gues if yours are fine then it has to be the insalation.

Answer 8

good question. I've often wondered myself. What if it's minus-25 out ??
