There are an electric two-way valve 13, a steam filter 21 and a third stop valve 223. A first solenoid valve 161 is provided at the inlet of the dry steam humidifier 17. The inlet of the first solenoid valve 161 is connected to the outlet of the steam filter 21. The first steam trap 151 and the second steam trap 152 are connected between the outlet of the steam heater 12 and the outlet of the steam filter 21. The outlet of the first steam trap 151 and the outlet of the second steam trap 152 are both connected to the a port of the electric three-way valve 19. The b port of the electric three-way valve 19 is connected to the inlet of the cooling coil 20.
