Abstract
The mist cooling apparatus (3) includes: a cooling system (30) which includes a nozzle (35, 35A) that sprays cooling liquid in a form of a mist onto a treatment object which has been heated and provided in a cooling furnace (10), and a pump (33) that is driven by a drive source and thereby makes the cooling liquid flow toward the nozzle (35, 35A); and a second cooling system (40) which operates in response to a stoppage of the drive source, and thereby cools the treatment object.
