A humidifying system for a fuel cell, the system producing a highly wet air by allowing dry air to pass through a water permeable humidifier, and supplying the highly wet gas to a fuel cell, wherein the humidifying system comprises a supercharger between an inlet for introducing gas into the fuel cell and an outlet for releasing gas from the humidifier. Since the pressure at the inlet of the supercharger is lower than the pressure at the outlet, the flow velocity at the inlet is higher than the flow velocity at the outlet. Therefore, the flow velocity of the dry air which flows inside the humidifier can be increased so as to be higher than the flow velocity in the case where the supercharger 3 is provided between the inlet for introducing gas into the fuel cell and a gas intake opening. Accordingly, the efficiency of humidification is improved, and the sizes of the humidifier and the supercharger can be reduced.
A humidifying system for a fuel cell, the system producing a wet gas by allowing a gas, which is to be humidified, to pass through a water permeable humidifier, and supplying the wet gas to a fuel cell,
A process for humidifying a fuel cell having a humidifying step in which a gas to be humidified is allowed to pass through a water permeable humidifier to generate a wet gas, and a step of supplying the wet gas to the fuel cell, wherein
