I can make the pipes under wires un-burstable.
Regarding purging, no it isn't instant. However, there is a control setting for the purge pumps. If you've got a runaway reaction going, shut off the gas supply so you aren't feeding the fire anymore, open the purge valve, close the engine inlet valve, and raise the purge pump setting to max. Huge pressure spikes can still exceed this, but it will catch up after a few minutes. If you are doing super careless dangerous things with the engine, yes, runaway reactions are an intended effect. Be more careful next time!
The only time the engine is ruined for the rest of the round is if something bombed it. You can always purge the gas lines and fix leaking pipes, it just might take a bit of time to fully purge if you've done something terrible. There is a growing group of players who love showing up late in a round to repair the engine and bring it back from whatever mess the last engineers made.
If all the gases are gone, hell, you can just hook up boring old air canisters and use those as coolant if you want to. Steal them from the atmos hookup rooms.
