Therefore, conventionally, when trying to obtain saturated air at the target frost point, the water temperature in the vessel is lowered to a temperature at which the water is considered to be completely frozen (about -30 ° C. in the case of distilled water). From, was controlled to any ice temperature. Therefore, it took time to control the water temperature drop. Furthermore, for example, when the used water is distilled water, it has been empirically determined that the temperature was lowered to −30 ° C. or less, but it was completely frozen. However, there was no method to confirm the actual state, and it was ambiguous.
