[0033] The system is equipped with pneumatic ball valves 2, 26, and 46 to improve the valve switching response speed and working stability. The upper part of the fuel tank 54 is connected to the oil inlet pipeline 53 to fill the fuel tank 54 with oil. The fuel tank 54 is a double-layer oil tank design, and calcium chloride solution is filled between the two layers. It is monitored by the liquid level sensor 3.
