HUMIDIFIER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18248660 titled 'HUMIDIFIER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a humidifier that can maintain a strong seal between a separator and a water exchange membrane, even when there are temperature changes.
- The humidifier includes plate-shaped separators with a dry gas-side water exchange portion on one side and a water-containing gas-side water exchange portion on the other side.
- These separators are stacked together with a water exchange membrane in between.
- A loop-shaped partition member is provided between the stacked humidifying modules to create a pressurization space.
- This partition member guides fluid into the pressurization space.
- The design ensures that the humidifier maintains high sealing performance without applying excessive force to the separator.
Original Abstract Submitted
A humidifier that can maintain high sealing performance between a separator and a water exchange membrane without applying an excessive external force to the separator even in the event of temperature change is provided. Humidifying modules each include plate-shaped separators each including a dry gas-side water exchange portion formed on one side and a water-containing gas-side water exchange portion formed on the other side. The humidifying module is structured by stacking a plurality of the separators in a state in which a water exchange membrane is disposed between the dry gas-side water exchange portion and the water-containing gas-side water exchange portion facing each other. A loop-shaped partition member that forms a pressurization space between the adjacent humidifying modules is provided in a state in which the humidifying modules are stacked to guide a fluid into the pressurization space.
