discharger

Thing that expels

A discharger is a person or device that releases or empties something.

In electrical contexts, a discharger drains stored energy from capacitors or batteries.

In industrial settings, it might be equipment that empties containers or hoppers.

A person who discharges a firearm or fulfills an obligation is technically a discharger, though the term appears most often in technical writing: The static discharger prevents buildup on aircraft wings.
