PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling device accompanied by ice water transportation, which is capable of being applied to a large-capacity ice water tank, and capable of taking out the ice water having the optimum rate of ice efficiently. SOLUTION: A cooling device is provided with an ice water supplying device having an ice water manufacturing device and an ice water tank for reserving ice water, a cold/heat supplying pipeline as well as a cold/heat returning pipeline which are connected to the ice water supplying device, and a cooling and heating load connected to respective pipelines and cooled directly or indirectly by the ice water. In such a cooling device, the ice water tank is constituted so as to be provided with an ice pushing device 4 moving ice pieces 3 floating on the upper part of the water level into an ice take-out direction 7 at a position including the level of liquid, while the ice moved by the ice pushing device is supplied into the cold/heat supplying pipeline 1 directly or through a mixing tank. In this case, the ice water tank is constituted of an ice water reserving tank 2 and an ice water supplying tank 7 connected to the cold/heat supplying pipeline 1, while the ice water reserving tank 2 is preferable to have a variable rotating speed impeller 8 or a screw conveyor for transferring the ice in the same tank into the ice water supplying tank 7. |
