[0024] The second monitoring branch pipe 4 is provided with a second filter module 10, and the second filter module 10 can be a capsule filter, which is used to filter impurities in the gas, that is, the second filter module 10 is used for filtering, and the second monitoring branch pipe 4 is provided with a second pressure regulating module 11, and the second pressure regulating module 11 is a liquid pressure regulating valve. The user can also set a flow valve behind the liquid pressure regulating valve as needed to control the pressure and flow.
