An outdoor self-service kiosk for sports/concert/show ticket dispensing
A major vendor in the entertainment ticketing industry searched for a solution that would provide electronic cooling for their outside ticketing kiosks. The electronics and computers used in the kiosks required a constant temperature in hot climates and under adverse weather conditions in order to function properly. The self-service kiosks are stand-alone machines with no daily on-site maintenance personnel.
EIC’s Model 140B – 400 BTU 120 VAC powered thermoelectric air conditioner
The ticketing company installed EIC thermoelectric air conditioners in over 50 self-service kiosks nation-wide. Because of the versatility of the air conditioner, the same model could be used on all the kiosks across the board no matter the location- from the dry Las Vegas heat to the moist, humid air experienced during northeast summers- which standardized the implementation of the cooling systems.
The thermoelectric cooling systems were through-mounted vertically on the sides of the kiosks. The through-mount provided ample room to house the cooling equipment so the original kiosk equipment did not need to be altered. Additionally, the location of the air conditioner in a concealed area did not alter the appearance or “clean look” of the kiosk and maintained the initial aesthetics and design.
The electronic cooling system provided by EIC offered a complete cooling solution while not altering the construction or arrangement of the original kiosks. The cooling system offered a reduction in kiosk equipment failure and repair by preventing them from overheating. The company also experienced a decrease in customer complaints due to systems being down from overheating or adverse weather.
