Abstract: The application relates to a water transfer compound, preferably for use for the humidification of process gases for fuel cells, comprising:—a water-permeable and essentially gas-impermeable water transfer layer as well as—at least one thermoplastic protection layer which is water- and gas-permeable at least in sections, where—the water transfer layer and the thermoplastic protection layer overlap each other at least in sections and comprise a first and a second overlapping area, where—the water transfer layer in the first overlapping area is accessible for humid gases through the thermoplastic protection layer and the water transfer compound is thermocompressed in the second overlapping area so that the water transfer layer in the second overlapping area is not accessible for humid gases through the compressed thermoplastic protection layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fitting device (10) for a tube-shaped workpiece (27) for use in internal combustion engine facilities. The fitting device (10) has a basic body (16) for the reception of the tube-shaped workpiece (27), the basic body (16) being positioned in the opening of the laminar component (15) and at least a part of the basic body (16) essentially being movable in a plane which is oriented parallel to the plane of the opening. Furthermore, the fitting device (10) has a frame element which holds the basic body (16) and is supported on the opening edge of the laminar component (15). The fitting device (10) is arranged in such a way that it covers the opening of the laminar component (15) after reception of the tube-shaped workpiece (27).
