The walls define, in conjunction with one another and with the partitions, juxtaposed compartments which are open at their upper ends to enable them to be connected to a gas pressure source and which are closed or substantially closed at their lower ends. The cell is approximately of horseshoe-shape and can be provided with an additional wall and transverse deflectors extending between the legs of the horseshoe-shaped cell.
