[0013] Furthermore, a fifth needle valve 24 is installed on the pipeline connecting the water collecting tank 25 and the fluorine-containing gas return system.

[0014] Furthermore, a drain ball valve 26 is installed at the bottom of the water collecting tank 25, and then the water goes to the waste liquid tank.
