Vending Machines

 

Target Scope


Vending machines selling cold or hot beverages (vending machines for canned/bottled beverages, vending machines for beverages in paper containers, and vending machines for beverages served in cups), except the following:

1) ones intended to be installed only on ships,

2) ones intended to be installed only on railway cars,

3) ones selling beverages served in cups and using electronic cooling (e.g., Peltier cooling) for cooling beverages,

4) ones of the countertop type, or

5) ones for alcoholic beverages other than beer (including low-malt beer).

 

Energy Consumption Efficiency


Energy consumption efficiency shall be annual energy consumption (kWh/year) measured in accordance with the method stipulated in JIS B 8561 (2007).

 

Categories & Target Standard Values


In the target fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year, for each category, the weighted average value obtained by weighting energy consumption efficiency with shipment volume shall not be above the target standard value which is a weighted average value obtained by weighting standard energy consumption efficiency*1 with shipment volume.

*1: Values obtained from the standard energy consumption efficiency calculation formulas.

Category Standard energy consumption efficiency calculation formula
Beverages to be sold Type of vending machine Category name
Canned or bottled beverages Machines serving cold only, or Machines serving hot or cold Ⅰ E=0.218V+401
Machines serving hot and cold
(Internal depth is below 400 mm) 		Ⅱ E=0.798Va+414
Machines serving hot and cold
(Internal depth is 400 mm or greater) 		Without electronic money processing device Ⅲ E=0.482Va+350
With electronic money processing device Ⅳ E=0.482Va+500
Beverages in paper container Type A
(Dummy samples are used for selling goods) 		Machines serving cold only V E=0.948V+373
Machines serving hot and cold (having two internal compartments) Ⅵ E=0.306Vb+954
Machines serving hot and cold (having three internal compartments) Ⅶ E=0.63Vb+1474
Type B
(Actual goods are used for visual display and selling goods) 		Machines serving cold only Ⅷ E=0.477V+750
Machines serving hot and cold Ⅸ E=0.401Vb+1261
Beverages served in cups ― X E=1020〔T≦1500〕
E=0.293T+580〔1500＜T〕
Remarks:
  1. Vb: Adjusted internal volume (numeric value acquired first by multiplying the actual internal volume of the hot storage compartment by 40, which is devided by 10, and then by adding the result to the actual internal volume of the cold storage compartment) (unit: L)
  2. T: Adjusted heat capacity (numeric value obtained by totaling the hot-water tank capacity multiplied by 80, the cold-water tank capacity multiplied by 15, and the ice storage capacity multiplied by 95 and then divided by 0.917, and then multiplying the total sum by 4.19. (unit: kJ)

 

Target Fiscal Year


FY2012 and each subsequent fiscal year

 

Energy Efficiency Improvement


For vending machines whose target fiscal year was FY2012, energy consumption efficiency was improved by about 48.8% compared with the FY2005 level in the target year (FY2012).
