A heat exchanger of gas-liquid contacting plate type includes: a plurality of heat transfer plates, disposed vertically at certain intervals, defining air flow passages therebetween which allow air to rise, and each of the plates has a heat medium flowing passage thereinside for allowing a heat medium to flow therethrough while the side surfaces of each of the heat transfer plates, which define the air flow passages, are adhered with nets for allowing a liquid to flow downward along the nets and plates.
