the present invention, to discharge excess heat generation in an k radiator and an electric fan are used. The radiator is placed on (sealed) with the internal side of the radiator contacting the nal side the radiator fin connected to an electric fan. After the cncrated from electrolysis is directly discharged outside the tor which is rapidly cooled down by the electric fan so that heat system is structured to offer such major features as direct heat id high operating reliability.
