I’d like to ask why the heat exchanger purge line is connected to the outlet?

I’d like to ask why the sweep line of the heat exchanger is connected to the outlet – whether it’s before or after the outlet valve. I can’t quite remember. In any case, I’ve seen that in most of the heat exchangers in our facility, it’s connected to the outlet valve{:2_41:}
For heavy oil with low input and high output, heat extraction is used. When the heat exchanger fails and is shut down, steam is routed to the outlet to facilitate the purging of the medium inside the heat exchanger.
