A connecting pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage box 7, and the end of the connecting pipe 13 away from the storage box 7 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 8, and passes through the upper surface of the water storage tank 8 and extends to the bottom of the water storage tank 8, so as to measure the gas amount by pressure. A liquid level detector 17 and a gas detector 18 are arranged in the water storage tank 8 to detect the liquid level and the gas in the water storage tank 8 at the same time.

[0023] The output end of the compressor 2 is fixedly connected with an output pipe 3, and an evaporator 5 is arranged at one end of the output pipe 3 away from the compressor 2, so that the refrigerant can cool down the object to be cooled. A condenser 4 is arranged on the output pipe 3, and a water outlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the condenser 4, and a first solenoid valve 10 is arranged on the water outlet pipe 9, so as to control the flow rate of condensed water on the water outlet pipe 9. The end of the water outlet pipe 9 away from the condenser 4 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the water tank 8, and passes through the side surface of the water tank 8 and is connected to the inside of the water tank 8, so as to transport the condensed water into the water tank 8. A water inlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the water tank 8, and a second solenoid valve 11 is arranged on the water inlet pipe 12. The flow rate of condensed water in the water inlet pipe 12 is controlled. The end of the water inlet pipe 12 away from the water storage tank 8 is fixedly connected to the input end of the condenser 4. A refrigerator 6 is provided on the side surface of the condenser 4.

[0024] Working principle: When in use, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 2 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is then cooled by the condenser 4 to become a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After the high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator 5, due to the pressure reduction, it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor, which is used to cool the object to be cooled. It is then recovered through the recovery pipe 14, and the recovered steam enters the storage tank 7, pushing the piston 20 up, and pushing the condensed water above the piston 20 into the water tank 8 through the connecting pipe 13. The liquid level detector 17 detects the liquid level, thereby measuring the amount of steam in the storage tank 7. At the same time, the gas detector 18 detects the inside of the water tank 8 to check whether there is a gas leak.
