There is provided a liquid-to-gas contact device comprising: a
liquid-to-gas contact medium which is a honeycomb structural body formed
of a porous material including a plurality of through channels defined by
a plurality of partition walls and extending through the structural body
in an axial direction, and including a plurality of flow passages
extending through the honeycomb structural body from an outer peripheral
surface side and formed isolatedly from the through channels; and a
container which includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a liquid supply port,
a storage tank for liquid, and, if desired, a liquid discharge port and
in which the liquid-to-gas contact medium is to be stored. A capillarity
phenomenon function possessed by the liquid-to-gas contact medium is used
to provide the device which has a superior thermal efficiency and which
can be constituted to be simple and compact.
