However, in the conventional liquid dispensing device including the beer dispenser described in Patent Document 1 and the beer dispensing device described in Patent Document 2, cooling is performed between the compressor 12a and the radiator 13a as shown in FIG. Since the fan 11a is arranged, maintenance such as cleaning of the cooling fan 11a is extremely difficult. That is, there is a drawback that workability is inferior because the compressor 12a and the radiator 13a become obstacles during maintenance.
By the way, the cooling fan generally deteriorates more easily than the compressor and the radiator, and is easily soiled, so that it is necessary to perform maintenance relatively frequently.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid dispensing device capable of easily performing maintenance of a cooling fan portion.

As a result of diligent studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has found that the above problems can be solved by arranging the cooling fan portion on the front wall side of the radiator, and has completed the present invention. It was.
