PURGING SYSTEM AND USE THEREOF IN AN ENERGY SYSTEM

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.
