Abstract
A humidification apparatus includes a bag-shaped flexible reservoir where water is stored, a vaporizer that vaporizes supplied water, a water supply path connected to the flexible reservoir and the vaporizer, an accommodation portion where the flexible reservoir is accommodated, a pressurization source that compresses the flexible reservoir by pressurizing a space outside the flexible reservoir and inside the accommodation portion, and a controller that controls an operation of the pressurization source. Water stored in the flexible reservoir is supplied to the vaporizer through the water supply path by compressive force with which the flexible reservoir is compressed.
