Abstract

A humidifier which comprises an inner case of the shape of a cylinder having a bottom, an outer case of cylindrical shape arranged to be concentric with the inner case, and a plurality of hollow fiber membranes being placed in the space between the two cases and formed into a hollow fiber membrane bundle of a cylindrical shape, wherein fluid pathways are provided which connect from the interior part to the exterior part of the hollow fiber membrane bundle. The humidifier allows all of the hollow fiber membranes to take part in humidification effectively, and thus exhibits improved efficiency in humidification. <IMAGE>
