Priming As the water level is raised the volume of the steam space is decreased, the speed of the steam across the surface is increased drawing foam and water droplets towards the steam outlet. A sudden increase in steam demand can cause a slug of boiler water to enter the steam outlet. This is known as priming. Operation of the boiler below its design pressure will also produce a similar effect. [ Up ]
