Should the air/steam valve (above the expansion tank) stay open or closed??

I'm talking about the small valve directly above the expansion tank on my CROWN Boiler...I'm not sure if it's supposed to be open slightly for steam to escape or supposed to be closed all the time...

Right now I have it open just slightly (1/4 of turn) and I can see steam (water) coming out of it sometimes....Is this normal??

Can someone explain what is the function on the valve and if supposed to be open or closed??

Also the expansion tank appears to be empty when I tap it and very light....is this normal also??

Thanks for your time -VK
