Cleaning a boiler is a dirty job and should only be done by a licensed pluming or heating professional but let's talk about how a oil fired boiler would get cleaned by that oil burner service man. There are several things that are done when fully cleaning and serving an oil burner, although most people think its just a matter of vacuuming out the soot when there is actually a lot more to it then that. This is exactly why only a certified or licensed professional should be doing the work. Let's now talk about what will be done and how to clean a boiler. The materials that will be need to fully clean and maintain the boiler will be a new oil pump filter, oil line filter, new burner nozzle and possibly new electrodes depending on their condition. The boiler will also have be vacuumed out and that will have to be done with a special vacuum that is made for soot. These vacuums have special filters inside so that the soot does not return to the air when removing the fine soot ash from inside of the oil burner.

What is a tangentially fired boiler?
A tangentially fired boiler has between 4 and 8 burners, placed in the corners of the boiler. These are sometimes angled vertically to maximize impingement of the flames. They are fired into the center of the boiler, not directly into the center, but at the wall to adjacent to them. This causes the flames to swirl inside of the boiler, causing an even distribution of flame throughout the boiler. This is shown pretty well here: http://www.alstom.com/power/coal-oil/utility-boilers/firing-systems This website also has a lot more detail than previously provided.
