    摘要: A separation and/or humidification element that employs fibrous hollow membrane tubes is provided, which may be used for water vapor transfer between different gas streams in a fuel cell application, such as to humidify the reaction gas. At least one and typically two composite end caps encapsulate ends of a bundle of the fibrous hollow membrane tubes. Each composite end cap comprises adhesive (e.g. epoxy) and a preform such as a plastic annular shroud.
