A system for humidifying a gas, the system including a housing defining a humidification
chamber through which a gas travels, and a humidification assembly adjacent to
the housing. The humidification assembly includes a source of humidifying liquid
and a porous wick for carrying the humidifying liquid from the source of the humidifying
liquid into the humidification chamber. The wick separates the source of humidifying
liquid from the humidification chamber such that the humidifying liquid flows through
the wick before humidifying the gas traveling through the humidification chamber.
