The invention relates, inter alia, to a purging system, which is provided for purging at least one energy source device and/or at least one energy sink device of an energy system, comprising a purging device, which is provided in such a way that the purging device is able to produce a discharge volumetric flow () containing hydrogen during a purging process. The aim of the invention is to further advantageously modify a purging system of the type in question in order to avoid explosion hazards due to hydrogen in the discharge volumetric flow after a purging process, by means of economical measures of simple design. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, in that the purging system has a mixing device () downstream of the purging device in the flow direction of the discharge volumetric flow (), which mixing device is provided for mixing the discharge volumetric flow () with an air volumetric flow (), in particular an exhaust air volumetric flow, and that the mixing device () has a wall (), which delimits a defined open thorough-mixing space () for the mixing of the discharge volumetric flow () with the air volumetric flow (), the wall () delimiting only a subregion of the thorough-mixing space (), and the region of the mixing device () not delimited by the wall () forming an entry region () for the two volumetric flows.

Purging system and use thereof in an energy system

The present invention relates, amongst other things, to a flushing system () for flushing an energy source device () and/or an energy sink device () of an energy system (), the flushing system comprising: a flushing device () having a storage chamber (), which on the input side is fluidically connected to a first line portion (), which is formed as a flushing line starting from the energy source device (), and/or to a second line portion (), which is formed as a flushing line starting from the energy sink device (); a first monitoring device () for monitoring the state of the storage chamber (), the first monitoring device () comprising at least one sensor device () associated with the storage chamber () for monitoring the fill level of the storage chamber (); and also optionally a compensation container device () fluidically connected to the storage chamber (). In order to further advantageously modify the flushing system () by simple structural and economical measures so that the flushing system can be monitored in a safety-related manner, the flushing system () comprises a safety control device (); the sensor device () for monitoring the fill level of the storage chamber () is connected to the safety control device () via an interface () associated with the storage chamber; and the flushing system () optionally has at least one further monitoring device () for monitoring the state of the compensation container device () and/or for monitoring valve devices () which is/are connected to the safety control device () via interfaces associated with the compensation container device and/or valve devices.
