Membrane Element, Gas Separation Device and Internal Combustion Engine

摘要

The present invention provides a membrane element, a gas separation device, and an internal combustion engine capable of improving gas separation performance. A gas separation device 1 including membrane elements 2 includes rigid members 32 arranged in a direction intersecting folds of a pleated structure 26 in open regions R1 and R2 of the pleated structure 26 surrounded by a reinforcement frame 27. The open regions R1 and R2 are each separated into a supply region and an exhaust region of gas by an elastic epoxy resin adhesive S provided between the rigid member 32 and the pleated structure 26.
