Regardless of the rear end (downstream) side, it has been difficult to adjust so that a gas at a similar temperature is blown into the organic matter from anywhere on the compost bed. In order to make it possible to blow air at the same temperature as the front end (upstream) side even at the rear end (downstream) side of the air supply pipe, more raw materials such as petroleum must be used to increase the calorific value. However, there has been a problem that running costs and carbon dioxide emissions must be increased.

On the left side) and the rear end (downstream) side (the right side in FIGS. 1 and 3). Even if a locally low temperature occurs in the outer tube 19,
In that case, more methanol vapor is concentrated and condensed at the site, and as a result, the outer pipe 19 of the heat pipe 41a always has
This is because a uniform temperature is maintained. As a result, it is possible to blow the gas heated to a uniform temperature over the entire length of the air supply pipe 3a shown in FIG.

When the hot water flows as shown in FIG. 0a (FIG. 1), the temperature of the hot water is 7 when the hot water is fed into the heat pipe 41a.
Although slightly lower than 5 ° C., the air that has been blown into the blower pipe 13a through the blower pipe 15a as indicated by an arrow 39a is already in the heat pipe 41a in the blower pipe 3a.
Therefore, the air is warmed more than the air blown into the blower pipe 3a through the blower pipe 5a as shown by an arrow 29a (FIGS. 1 and 3). As a result, the temperature of the hot water flowing as indicated by arrow 40a (FIGS. 1 and 3) to the heat pipe provided inside the blower pipe 13a via the heat source fluid transfer pipe 17a is reduced by the heat pipe 41a.
Although the temperature is slightly lower than 75 ° C. when the air is sent into the livestock droppings, the temperature of the air sent into the livestock droppings 11 from the blower pipe 13a is lower than the temperature of the air sent into the livestock droppings 11 from the blower pipe 3a. It is almost equal to the temperature. The same thing occurs between the air duct 13a and the air duct 23a. As a result, air with a uniform temperature can be sent into the livestock dung over the entire area of the compost bed 1.
