If you are referring to a piece of equipment furnished by a supplier, then your question should be directed to the OEM. Otherwise, the more information you provide about the application/system, the participants are more likely to assist you.

good luck!

If purging to clean one way to do it is pressurize with nitrogen, draw vacuum as deep as possible, and repeat until system is free of what you are trying to remove. If just looking to break vacuum then any gas will work. For a vacuum pressure control loop an inert gas usually nitrogen is feed in to control on set point.
Question is very vague.
