There has to be water in either system for it to work, check with the manufacturer and provided documentation to discern proper water capacity.
A hot water boiler (hydronics) as opposed to steam is a system that is filled with water and has an automatic feeder to make sure the boiler never dry fires
A steam (vapor) system has a limited amount of water so it has space to make steam and can have a manual feeder BUT like a hydronic system much have a low water cut off to prevent dry firing

What is economiser in boiler?
In boilers, economizers are heat exchange devices that heat fluids, usually water, up to but not normally beyond the boiling point of that fluid. Economizers are so named because they can make use of the enthalpy in fluid streams that are hot, but not hot enough to be used in a boiler, thereby recovering more useful enthalpy and improving the boiler's efficiency. They are a device fitted to a boiler which saves energy by using the exhaust gases from the boiler to preheat the cold water used to fill it (the feed water).
Is boiler and furnace are same?
No, furnaces are forced air heat. Boilers are hot water heat.
What are the function of boiler?
One function: to safely heat water. Whatever the resulting hot water or steam is used for is not a function of the boiler, but the system it is connected to.
How does heat get from inside the boiler to the wall behind the radiator?
Conduction of heat energy from the source to the water in the boiler. A pump moves the hot water to the radiator.The heat radiates out from the radiator to the air, where convection then circulates it through the room.
Can you hook domestic hot water directly into your boiler?
No. Hot water directly from boiler is not potable.

What are your options for changing my hot water setup when my water is heated by a oil boiler now?
The best option is to put in a separate water heater for the summer and and other warm months when you don't need to run the boiler for heat. When it is winter and the boiler is running to heat the house it will heat the potable water as well. By switching back and forth you will save money on your oil bill.
