Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for humidifying a gas flow stream is described. The apparatus comprises a plurality of humidification chambers connected in a sequence to allow the gas flow stream to flow sequentially through the plurality of humidification chambers. Each humidification chamber is configured to contain a liquid over which the gas flow stream can flow. At least one humidification chamber comprises a nozzle that forms the gas flow stream into a gas jet that impinges on a surface of the liquid in each humidification chamber. The humidity level of the gas increases as the gas flow stream flows sequentially through the plurality of humidification chambers.
