Which of the following conditions will result in an automatic shut down of the flue gas inert gas system?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — High temperature gas discharge from inert gas blowers.
High temperature gas discharge from inert gas blowers triggers an automatic shutdown to prevent thermal damage to the deck piping and tank coatings. Excessive heat indicates a failure in the scrubber cooling system, which could allow hot, potentially hazardous gases to enter the cargo tanks, compromising safety.
