Abstract
A membrane humidifier for a fuel cell is disclosed. The membrane humidifier for a fuel cell includes a first housing (10) including a humidity inlet port (12) suctioning a wet flow thereinto and a dry air outlet port (14) discharging dry air, and a second housing (80) correspondingly coupled to the first housing, and including a humidity outlet port discharging a wet flow and a dry air inlet port suctioning dry air.
Claims6
A membrane humidifier (100) for a fuel cell, the membrane humidifier (100) comprising:
- a first housing (10) comprising a humidity inlet port (12) configured to suction a wet flow thereinto and a dry air outlet port (14) configured to discharge dry air;
- a second housing (80) correspondingly coupled to the first housing the first housing, and comprising a humidity outlet port configured to discharge a wet flow and a dry air inlet port configured to suction dry air;
- and a cartridge (40) located inside the first housing (10) and the second housing (80),
- wherein inside the cartridge (40), a flow path through which the wet flow is suctioned or discharged is provided into any one selected among a first path through which the wet flow moves forward at an upper portion and moves downward and then is discharged toward a lower outlet, or a second path through which the wet flow moves forward at a lower portion and moves upward and then is discharged toward an upper outlet, thereby providing a structure in which turbulence generated between the first housing (10) or the second housing (80) and the cartridge (40) is reduced and vibrations or external force applied to a hollow fiber membrane is reduced.
