The disclosure in the present specification relates to a fuel
cell membrane humidifier comprising: a main housing; a
hollow fiber membrane cartridge comprising a seal
mount formed on an end of a
cartridge housing so as to protrude, and a fixing layer for
potting multiple membranes on both side ends of the body thereof, the
hollow fiber membrane cartridge being installed inside the main housing; an inlet housing comprising a
coupling portion mounted on a inlet connecting portion of the main housing, a seal ground portion formed inside the
coupling portion, and a main chamber into which dry air is supplied through a cooler; an outlet housing comprising a
coupling portion connected to an outlet connecting portion of the main housing, a gas inflow port through which gas is provided from a
hydrogen fuel
cell stack, a second chamber in which humid air formed through the membranes flows, and a cartridge
insertion portion to which one side end of the cartridge housing is coupled; a variable seal comprising a body elastically grounded to the outer
peripheral surface of the seal
mount, and a rib elastically deformed with respect to the body portion and forced against the seal ground portion; and a
back pressure passage extending between the main chamber and the seal ground portion. The
ground pressure of the rib against the seal ground portion is formed to increase in response to the pressure of dry air in the main chamber introduced through the
back pressure passage when the dry air is supplied.
