[0028] A vacuum pump 6 and a first electromagnetic valve 7 are installed on the pipeline at the inlet end of the nitrogen mixing storage tank 1.

[0031] A compressor 9 and a second solenoid valve 10 are installed on the pipeline between the nitrogen storage tank 4 and the liquefied nitrogen storage tank 5.
