With the gas kinetic energy factor remaining constant in a packed tower, why does the pressure drop decrease as the vacuum level increases, and why does the theoretical number of stages per meter of packing increase accordingly?

Dear sea friends: I have a question and hope you can kindly provide some guidance. For the same type of corrugated packing, when the gas kinetic energy factor in the packing tower remains constant, why does the pressure drop per meter of packing decrease as the vacuum level increases, while the theoretical number of stages per meter of packing increases with rising vacuum level?
The pressure drop decreases as the vacuum level increases – this holds true in any vacuum, as the distance between gas molecules that cause the pressure drop increases, meaning the density decreases； An increase in the amount of filler is the same as mentioned above……
