<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the humidifying efficiency of a humidifier having a steam permeable film. <P>SOLUTION: The humidifier includes the steam permeable film allowing steam to permeate therethrough, a first fluid supply passage on a first face of the steam permeable film, for supplying a first fluid and having a first inlet from which the first fluid is led in; and a second fluid supply passage on a second face of the steam permeable film, for supplying a second fluid and having a second inlet from which the second fluid is led in. The steam permeable film has a pleat-like shape having a plurality of ridges almost parallel with each other that are formed by folding the steam permeable film several times. A gap between adjacent ridges is greater in an area where the flow route of the first fluid from the first inlet is longer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
