The boiling drum is where the boiling water is converted to steam, so that maintaining the level of the drum is an important process. Controlling the level is critical because if the level becomes too low, the drum heats up in dry results in damaging the mechanical components. And if the level becomes too high, water can be carried over into the steam pipework, possibly damaging downstream equipment.
