PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the quality deterioration of seeds, i.e. a treated material, and to reduce their loss in an apparatus for heating and cooling water.SOLUTION: The apparatus for heating and cooling water includes: a water tank (1) for storing hot water a cooling tank (10) for storing cooling water a hot water conveyor (3) for sequentially supplying seeds to the cooling tank (10) after sequentially transporting seeds to the cooling tank (10) side in the water tank (1) and a cooling conveyor for sequentially transporting the seeds to the outlet side in the cooling tank (10). The apparatus has an emergency discharge mode configured such that seeds are urgently transported and discharged by the water conveyor (3) and the cooling conveyor in abnormal circumstances.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 温湯加温・冷却設備において、処理物である種子の品質の劣化を回避し、損失を低減させることを課題とする。【解決手段】 温湯を貯留する温湯槽(1)と、冷却水を貯留する冷却槽(10)と、温湯槽(1)内において種子を冷却槽(10)側へ順次移送した後、種子を冷却槽(10)へ順次供給する温湯用移送装置(3)と、冷却槽(10)内において種子を排出側へ順次移送する冷却用移送装置を設け、異常時に温湯用移送装置(3)及び冷却用移送装置により種子を緊急で移送させて排出する緊急排出モードを備える温湯加温・冷却設備とした。【選択図】図1
