PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify piping installation by allowing drain generated in a gas- passage zone of a direct-contact-type condenser to be discharged to the bottom side of the condenser body making use of components therein without providing an extra drainpipe. SOLUTION: In a direct-contact type condenser, which comprises a condensing zone 1 inside its body 3, a gas cooler zone 8 with a cooling-water pool 11 having spray nozzles in the upper portion thereof, and a gas-passage zone 14 communicating with a gas outlet 17 provided above the gas cooler 8, these zones being defined by partitions 6 supported with a reinforcing stay pipe 19 standing in the condenser body 3, the stay pipe 19 comprises drain holes 19a and 19b opening into the gas-passage zone and the bottom of the condenser body at the upper and lower portions thereof, respectively, to discharge drain generated in the gas-passage zone toward the bottom of the condenser body through the stay pipe 19.
