However, after the liquid ring vacuum pump sucks for a long time, the water in the gas will remain in the liquid ring vacuum pump, and when the water becomes more and more, the ammonia gas will dissolve in the water, making it difficult for the vacuum pump to reach the required vacuum degree, affecting the gas discharge.
