Why is the liquid level in the suction tank of stage 1 of the centrifugal compressor at 0?

Why is the liquid level in the inter-stage tank of the centrifugal compressor set to 0? Are there any other reasons aside from preventing liquid from entering the unit? Thank you to all the experts for your advice
The absence of liquid does not mean there is no liquid present; when liquid is present, this separation tank is needed to carry out the separation process. Which has a greater density, gas or liquid? Which one has the greater acceleration? Which causes the greater damage to the engine?
Liquid is present in centrifugal compressors; an excess amount, similar to that in a water pump, increases the load and leads to overcurrent； There is less corrosion caused by the impeller and other components, such as gas seals and the impeller itself. It can also lead to scaling on the impeller due to dust, or cause imbalance in dynamic balance. The most critical issue is that the user’s requirements cannot be met, which is related to the load associated with the drying process. For reference.
I understand that. What I want to ask is: why is the liquid level control set to 0 only for one of the inter-stage tanks among these several?
In this section, the pressure is low, and the liquid carried in the gas medium is relatively severe.
