- an inner case having openings at both ends;
- and
- a hollow fiber membrane bundle placed in the inner case,
- wherein the inner case includes a first variable case in which an inner inlet for inflow of a first gas is formed, a second variable case disposed apart from the first variable case in a first axial direction and in which an inner outlet for outflow of the first gas is formed, and a central case to which at least one of the first variable case and the second variable case is movably coupled.
A fuel cell humidifier comprising:
- a humidification module using a wet gas to humidify a dry gas to be supplied to a fuel cell stack;
- a first cap coupled to one end of the humidification module;
- and
- a second cap coupled to the other end of the humidification module,
- wherein the humidification module includes a mid-case of which both ends are open and at least one cartridge accommodated inside the mid-case,
- the cartridge includes an inner case having openings at both ends and a hollow fiber membrane bundle placed in the inner case, and
- the inner case includes a first variable case in which an inner inlet for inflow of a first gas is formed, a second variable case disposed apart from the first variable case in a first axial direction and in which an inner outlet for outflow of the first gas is formed, and a central case to which at least one of the first variable case and the second variable case is movably coupled.
