[0033] (12) The operating range of the liquid level h1 is determined by the amount of waste gas released in the water system during production, the pressure at the top of the degassing device, and the water flow pressure of the outlet pipe. The operating range is normally controlled between 1.5 and 2.0 m, and can be adjusted appropriately according to the specific production process to ensure appropriate water flow pressure and meet the normal water system circulation treatment.
