PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling device that can be retrofitted to existing water supply equipment in poultry farming facilities.SOLUTION: A cooling device 2 includes cooling piping 5, a coolant source and an insulating member 8. Then, the cooling piping 5 is adjacently provided to a side surface 302 different from one side surface 301 in the circumferential direction where a water inlet 31 (nipple-type water supply 4) is arranged in a water supply pipe 3, and formed extending in the pipe axis direction to those water supply pipe 3 and cooling piping 5. One side surface 301 of the water supply pipe 3 is opened, and the cooling piping 5 is covered from remaining side surfaces 303, 304. In other words, a cross section perpendicular to the pipe axis direction is covered by the insulating member 8 having the U-shaped cross section. Accordingly, the cooling of the chicken drinking water of the water supply pipe 3 and in the piping becomes possible by being retrofitted to the existing water supply pipe 3.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】養鶏施設内の既設の給水設備に、後付け可能な冷却装置の提供。【解決手段】冷却装置2を、冷却配管5と、冷媒源と、断熱部材8とを備えて構成する。そして、冷却配管5を、給水管3において、給水口31(ニップル式給水器4)が配列される周方向の一側面301とは異なる側面302に隣接して設けるとともに、それらの給水管3および冷却配管5に対して、管軸方向に延びて形成され、該給水管3の一側面301を開放し、残余の側面303,304から前記冷却配管5を覆う、つまり管軸方向とは直交する断面がコの字の断面を有する断熱部材8によって覆う。したがって、既設の給水管3に後付けで、該給水管3およびその管内の鶏飲水の冷却が可能になる。【選択図】図2
