Unit for adjusting humidification

A unit for adjusting humidification, characterized in that a humidifying structural body that is structured by a number of hollow fibers provided on an outer surface of an exothermic member and each having a peripheral wall with minute openings each of which is large enough to allow water vapor to permeate therethrough yet small enough to fail to permeate water therethrough;

• and
• that said humidifying structural body is disposed in a short connection tube so as to be detachably connected to a tube to be connected thereto.

• and
• that said humidifying structural body is held at a mounting tube to be mounted on a pipe to be humidified.

A humidifying unit for an artificially respiratory device, characterized in that:

• a unit for adjusting humidification is structured by an exothermic member provided on an outer surface thereof with a number of hollow fibers each having a peripheral wall with minute openings each of which is large enough to allow water vapor to permeate therethrough yet small enough to fail to permeate water therethrough;
• and
• that said unit for adjusting humidification is disposed in an intake circuit and a water supply source is communicated with said multiple hollow fibers in said unit for adjusting humidification.

A method for the preparation of a unit for adjusting humidification, characterized by:

• preparing a multiple hollow fibers gathering with said multiple hollow fibers connected integrally in a sheet form so as to make the axis of each of said multiple hollow fibers nearly parallel to each other, said multiple hollow fibers each having a peripheral wall with minute openings each being large enough to allow water vapor to permeate therethrough yet small enough to fail to permeate water therethrough;
• and
• winding said multiple hollow fibers gathering around an exothermic member in a form of a rod so as to make an axial direction of each of said multiple hollow fibers nearly parallel to the axis of said exothermic member.
