Deck General USCG Q#1187 (Set 37)

What type of liquid is used in the liquid P/V breaker?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Water-antifreeze mixture

Liquid pressure-vacuum (P/V) breakers utilize a water-antifreeze mixture to prevent freezing in cold climates while maintaining a liquid seal. This seal protects the cargo tanks from over-pressurization or vacuum conditions during loading, discharging, or thermal expansion.
