Which function is NOT provided by the scrubber of an inert gas system?

A Removes particulate matter like soot.
B Removes chemical impurities from the gas.
C Maintains gas pressure in the tanks.
D Cools the inert gas.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Maintains gas pressure in the tanks. The scrubber of an inert gas system is responsible for removing particulate matter and chemical impurities from the inert gas, as well as cooling the gas. However, maintaining the gas pressure in the tanks is not a function of the scrubber. That is typically handled by a separate pressure control system, which regulates the pressure of the inert gas supply to the cargo tanks. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) accurately describe the functions of the scrubber, but maintaining gas pressure is not one of its responsibilities.
