Steam purging was not carried out before starting up; is this method more effective than nitrogen purging? What should be paid attention to during the purging process?
High flow rate, excellent performance, and lower cost compared to nitrogen； The pressure is higher than that of nitrogen ； With high temperatures, stop the steam after purging for a while; after cooling, purge again. By alternating between hot and cold conditions, thorough cleaning is achieved. This alternating hot and cold approach during startup yields good purging results ；
Is a container with pressure also needed as a gas source?
Of utmost importance: safety first; steam is much more dangerous than other gases. .
It depends on how you use it – where is the cleaning taking place? The cleaning process basically goes through the container, right? It depends on how you arrange the steam application; will it start from the beginning?

For heat exchangers, it is advisable to avoid purging with one cold stream and one hot stream in order to prevent leaks from the small floating heads; pipelines and containers can be..
Pay attention to warming the pipes before purging, avoiding burns during the process, and draining condensate after completion; other precautions are the same as those for air purging
