Abstract

Washer media are disposed in an air inlet and an air outlet of a water spray chamber. A basic unit is formed by first stage nozzles from which spraying water that reaches the inlet washer media is sprayed in the reverse direction to an air flow; a water storage tank for receiving spraying water, located in the lower position of the water spray chamber; and a circulating water supply system that circulates the circulating water in the water storage tank to the first stage nozzles. Second stage nozzles from which spraying water directed against the outlet washer media is sprayed in the forward direction to the air flow are disposed in approximately the same positions as the first stage nozzles. There is also provided a supplementary water supply system for supplying supplementary water to the second stage nozzles.
