purge de/du ... (voir explication)

Explanation:
A replacer dans le contexte : "chaudière" n'est pas automatiquement lié à "boiler" (autre possibilité : chauffe-eau, ...).
On parlera souvent de vidange d'une chaudière, mais aussi de purge d'un chauffe-eau, ...
Etant donné que la pression descend sous 1/2 atmosphère, il est évident qu'il s'agit de purger le liquide (pas nécessairement de l'eau)
