What device separates air from water leaving the boiler?

  1. Boiler scoop

  2. Air valve

  3. Pressure gauge

  4. Condenser

The correct answer is: Boiler scoop

A boiler scoop is the correct answer because it is specifically designed to remove air from water in a boiler system. The other options are incorrect because - B: An air valve is used to manually release air from the system, but it does not separate air from water. - C: A pressure gauge measures the pressure in the system, but it does not separate air from water. - D: A condenser is typically used in a steam power plant to convert the steam back into water, and is not involved in separating air from water.
