1. A purging system (40), which is provided in order to purge at least one energy source device (15) and/or at least one energy sink device (16), comprising a purging device (41) which is configured to generate a discharge volume flow (42) during a purging process, wherein the purging system (40) comprises a mixing device (44) provided, in flow direction of the discharge volume flow, downstream from the purging device (41), the mixing device (44) being configured for mixing the discharge volume flow (42) with an air volume flow (28), characterized in that the mixing device (44) comprises a defined open mixing space (45) for mixing the discharge volume flow (42) with the air volume flow (28);
wherein the mixing device (44) comprises a wall (47) delimiting the mixing space (45);
wherein the wall (47) delimits only a partial region of the mixing space (45) of less than 90%;
wherein the region of the mixing device (44), which is not limited by the wall (47), forms an entrance area (48) for the discharge volume flow (42) and the air volume flow (28);
wherein the mixing device (44) is of a hood-shaped or an umbrella-shaped or a shell-shaped design, or the mixing device (44) comprises an arc-shaped wall, or the mixing device (44) is provided in the form of a fraction of a pipe, and wherein the wall delimits the mixing space (45);
wherein the mixing device (44) comprises a distribution device (52) for distributing the discharge volume flow (42) in the mixing space (45), and wherein the distribution device (52) is arranged at least partially in the mixing space (45).
