2. Description of the Related Art In a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell, it is necessary to humidify a gas such as a fuel gas or an oxidizing gas. Especially in a high current density range, a high concentration of humidification is required. Conventionally, the humidification of gas in a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell is performed by using a bubbler 1 and water 2 as shown in FIG.

Further, generally, the tank becomes too large for humidification at a gas flow rate of several tens liters and several hundred liters per minute,
Moreover, since the heater for heating water consumes too much energy, it was impossible to apply it to the fuel cell system.
