Abstract

With a liquid ejection apparatus where a liquid-transporting body is attached to an agitator shaft, the liquid-transporting body is revolved about the agitator shaft, with the rotational speed being changed in accordance with a change in liquid depth. Hence ejection liquid ejected from an upper opening of the liquid-transporting body over a large ejection distance and in sufficient volume, is distributed onto the inner surface of the tank and/or into the space above the liquid surface, thereby washing the inner surface of the tank, maintaining the heat transfer area, dispersing a foam layer on the liquid surface, and promoting evaporation of liquid in the tank.
