Dans les appareils de chauffage par la vapeur, celle-ci fournit de la chaleur (sa chaleur de vaporisation) en se condensant; ces appareils doivent demeurer pleins de vapeur [...] et l'eau doit en être évacuée; sous réserve de techniques particulières à la vapeur basse pression, cette évacuation est assurée par des purgeurs d'eau condensée, répondant aux mêmes conditions que les précédents [ces purgeurs livrent passage à l'eau, mais s'opposent à la sortie de vapeur]. 4, record 1, French, - purgeur%20automatique%20de%20vapeur%20d%27eau

On rencontre chez certains fabricants les expressions purgeur d'eau, purgeur d'eau condensée, purgeur d'eau de condensation, purgeur de condensats. Toutefois les spécialistes français et québécois n'ont pas jugé opportun de conserver cette synonymie pour le moins gênante. 6, record 1, French, - purgeur%20automatique%20de%20vapeur%20d%27eau
