How does an inert gas system on a tanker function to prevent explosions in cargo tanks?
Inert gas dilutes the flammable vapor and air concentrations to keep them below the lower explosive limit.
De-energizes the "charged mist" effect.
Maintains a positive pressure on the vent header to cool the flammable vapors.
Inert gas filters out the flammable vapors from the cargo tank spaces.
