1. A humidifying unit configured to humidify a target space, the humidifying unit comprising:
an adsorption member haling a moisture adsorption area configured to adsorb moisture and a moisture release area configured to release moisture;
a heater configured to heat the moisture release area of the adsorption member;
fans configured to generate an air flow;
a housing that accommodates the adsorption member, the heater, and the fans;
an electric component including a heat generating component; and
a cooler configured to air-cool the heat generating component,
the housing having
a humidifying air path through which air taken from outside the housing by the fans is discharged outside the housing via the adsorption member, and
a cooling air path in which the cooler is disposed, and air taken from outside the housing by the fans is joined with the humidifying air path,
a route of air passing through the humidifying air path from the cooling air path and being discharged outside the housing not passing through the moisture adsorption area of the adsorption member.
