An air conditioning system includes an air conditioning apparatus that adjusts a temperature of air in an air conditioning room, humidification apparatus that humidifies the air, and a plurality of conveyance fans that respectively conveys the air in the air conditioning room to a plurality of indoor spaces. Humidification apparatus includes rotation shaft that is rotated by rotation motor, centrifugal fan that is fixed to rotation shaft and rotates together with rotation shaft to introduce the air temperature-adjusted by the air conditioning apparatus into the humidification apparatus, cylindrical pumping pipe fixed to rotation shaft, rotates together with rotation shaft to pump up water from a pumping port, and discharges the pumped water in a centrifugal direction, first eliminator that micronizes the water discharged from pumping pipe by collision of the water and collects a part of micronized water droplets, and water storage portion storing the water pumped from pumping pipe.

A liquid atomization device includes: an inlet; an outlet; and a liquid atomization chamber. The liquid atomization chamber is provided in an air passage between the inlet and the outlet. The liquid atomization chamber includes a rotary shaft, a pumping pipe, a collision wall, a reservoir, and a drain port. The rotary shaft is rotated by a rotary motor and is disposed in the vertical direction. The pumping pipe includes a lower portion having a pumping port and an upper portion fixed to the rotary shaft, and is rotated in coordination with rotation of the rotary shaft to pump up water through the pumping port and centrifugally discharge the water. The pumping pipe generates, inside the pumping pipe, a whirlpool in the water in the reservoir by the rotation, and forms, at the center of the whirlpool, a void providing communication between the pumping port and the drain port.
