Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for controlling a humidification amount of a membrane humidifier for a fuel cell are provided. The humidification amount of the membrane humidifier relative to air supplied to a stack is changed by adjusting a difference in partial pressure of moisture between the inside and the exterior of a hollow fiber membrane that constitutes the membrane humidifier for a fuel cell.

Claim (Index 4):
A method of controlling a humidification amount of a membrane humidifier for a fuel cell, comprising:\n measuring, by a humidity sensor, humidity of a stack; increasing, by a controller, pressure in a hollow fiber membrane of the membrane humidifier by reducing or blocking an amount of humid air supplied from the stack to the membrane humidifier when the measured humidity is equal to or greater than a reference value; and increasing, by the controller, pressure inside and outside the hollow fiber membrane of the membrane humidifier by blocking an outlet of the membrane humidifier through which humid air is supplied from the stack to the membrane humidifier and humid air is discharged when the measured humidity is equal to or less than the reference value.
