Summary:A method for humidifying an air supply of a fuel cell, an air supply circuit including an injection line, an intermediate line and an evacuation line. The method includes steps for recovering recycled air, in the evacuation line, and injecting recycled air into the injection line so as to mix it with ambient air from the environment. The method additionally includes increasing the ratio of recycled air in the injection line when a power setting of the cell reduces and if the power setting is lower than a predefined power threshold, and reducing the ratio of recycled air when the power setting increases and if the power setting remains lower than the predefined threshold.
