Abstract

A membrane humidifier has a housing and a membrane stack. The membrane stack includes two first stack sides aligned parallel to the assembly direction. The membrane humidifier has a sealing device with two first sealing frames, each with an inner sealing surface and an outer sealing surface. The housing has two first housing sealing surfaces. The first sealing frames are in sealing contact with the inner sealing surfaces on the first stack sides. The first sealing frames are in contact with the outer sealing surfaces on the first housing sealing surfaces. The outer sealing surfaces of the first sealing frames and the first housing sealing surfaces of the housing are each aligned at a mounting angle to the first stack sides and to the mounting direction that is not zero. In addition, an arrangement is provided which includes the membrane humidifier and the sealing device for the membrane humidifier.
