The heating secondary pipes 22 and the cooling secondary pipes 12 are arranged alternately.
[0035] Specifically, the thermoelectric cooler 3 is embedded between the heating sub-pipe 22 and the cooling sub-pipe 12, with the cold end of the thermoelectric cooler 3 in contact with the cooling sub-pipe 12 and the hot end of the thermoelectric cooler 3 in contact with the heating sub-pipe 22.
