Reference Answer

### Boiler Water Level Controller - Float Operated Type
A float-operated boiler water level controller is a modulating control system designed to automatically maintain the water level in a boiler steam drum within safe, predetermined limits. This is critical for ensuring efficient steam generation and preventing catastrophic failures due to low water (overheating and structural damage) or high water (priming and carryover, damaging downstream machinery).
