 Purge Valve is an active powered device for controlled transfer of substances between the two pipe networks.

 '''NOTE:''' Since Purge Valve drains gas pressure from the liquid pipe and raises it in the gas pipe, this inevitably causes the liquids to begin evaporating. The evaporated liquid then may leak through the Purge Valve and inadvertedly condense into a liquid again, meeting the gas pressure it have just lost, which may cause the pipes to flood and burst. Make sure to backup the Purge Valve with a [[Condensation Valve]] going the opposite way to drain the liquid back into the liquid pipe, or maintain a safe pressure level and lower temperature in the liquid pipe to prevent that.
