להפליט
I have no idea of the term used by technical people in this field, but this seems quite appropriate.
The association in my mind is
כבולעו כך פולטו
and just as issur is purged in that context, say, from the wall of the pot in which it was absorbed, so in the current context the air in the compressor is expelled and replaced with another gas.

--------------------------------------------------
The compressor is being purged of air.
להפליט אוויר מהמדחס
is the closest equivalent that I can think of. Don't think being more literal will be more understandable.

פליטה
is used for "emission" - for example of motor vehicle exhaust, or of radiation.
In this case
להפליט
would be to cause the air in the compressor to be emitted [and replaced with another gas]

Note from asker:
| Nice one! However, in my case it says that the compressor is purged, not the air. How would you change the answer accordingly? |
| I think כסא מפלט supports Robert Hammer's case, no? |

Comment: "It seems more appropriate.
לטהר may be confusing in this particular case."

טהר
זהו התרגום המקובל והוא קביל גם בהקשר הזה.
Peer comment(s):

Geoffrey Black
: I agree. להפליט is not correct in this case, as it means to exude.
