According to the second embodiment, since the drain water in the water tank 19 is supplied to the outside of the condenser 12 by the water pump 30 by a necessary amount, the condenser 12 is drained as compared with the first embodiment. As well as being sufficiently cooled by water, the drain water treatment capacity is also increased. [Third Embodiment] FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view showing a third embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment of FIG. 1 is that the cold air blowing duct 24a is a double duct in which an inner duct 27 and an outer duct 28 surrounding the inner duct 27 are divided, and the inner duct 27 is cooled by the evaporator 13. Only the cooling air shown by the arrow C is allowed to flow, and only the humidified air of the drain water shown by the arrow D flowing through the outlet path 25 is separately passed through the outer duct 28.

According to the third embodiment, the cooling air indicated by the arrow C and the humidified air indicated by the arrow D do not mix up to the outlet of the cold air outlet duct 24a. Therefore, the humidified air indicated by the arrow D causes ambient air to flow around the outlet. Since it is entrained and diffused and the temperature drop due to evaporation of water droplets is promoted, the range of the cooling effect is expanded as compared with the first and second embodiments, and the humid air (secondary flow) flowing through the outer duct 28 is increased. Inner duct 27 due to side flow effect
Since the attenuation of the velocity of the cooling air (main flow) flowing through is reduced, the arrival of the temperature and velocity of the main flow is improved.
