Abstract
A humidifying device for a vehicle has a humidity detection part, a blower, a non-water-supply humidifier, and a controller. The humidity detection part detects a humidity in a vehicle compartment. The blower draws, as an intake air, an inside air in the vehicle compartment and an outside air outside the vehicle compartment at a specified ratio and blows the intake air toward the vehicle compartment. The non-water-supply humidifier collects water included in the inside air and supplies a humidified air, which is humidified using the water, toward a specified area in the vehicle compartment. The controller sets the specified ratio between the inside air and the outside air and controls an operation of the non-water-supply humidifier. The controller controls the blower to draw at least the inside air, when the non-water-supply humidifier is operated, and when a humidity in the vehicle compartment is lower than a specified humidity.
