Abstract

A purge device includes a supply flow rate adjuster, which adjusts a supply flow rate of a purge gas supplied to a storage container through a supply pipe, and an intake flow rate adjuster, which adjusts an intake flow rate of the purge gas taken in from an inside of the storage container through a discharge pipe to prevent the pressure of the inside of the storage container from becoming negative relative to an outside of the storage container. The supply flow rate adjuster adjusts the supply flow rate in at least two stages including a first flow rate and a second flow rate that is higher than the first flow rate. When the supply flow rate is the first flow rate, the intake flow rate adjuster sets the intake flow rate to zero.
