It heats water to a desired temperature
No, a hot water tank heats water by itself.
A burner is the part of the boiler that creates and controls the flame that heats the water. If you meant difference between a boiler and a furnace, a boiler makes hot water and a furnace makes hot air.
A boiler heats water to a safe heating temperature, often 180 degrees or so, and when a thermostat calls for heat, circulating pumps move the water from the boiler to the radiators where it heats the air surrounding the radiant surface, causing localized convective heating as well as some amount of conductive and radiant heat transfer. others have said: Stratification HEAT goes to the cold.

A Worcester Combi Boiler is a gas powered boiler that heats water that pumps into radiators to warm the house. It also gives you hot water whenever you want it.

Water tube boilers are used in marine and stationary applications. A water tube boiler heats by water flowing through tubes and being heated by fire externally.
"combi" what? Combi Core by Bradford White would be an operating control error. lc

The boiler will heat up the water that comes out of the tap or is used in the radiators. Also the kettle will heat up cold water to make a cup of coffee or tea
An industrial boiler heats up the whole building and provides a lot more heat than a standard boiler it is designed to be used in places like power stations.
Hi. No, these are not the same thing. A Combi-boiler can be a type of condensing boiler that does not need a tank and just heats the water on demand. A combi boiler can be of a condenisng type - in other words there are combi boilers that are condensing boilers. However, there are many types of condensing boiler that do have a holding tank, so not all condensing boilers are combi-boilers. By the way, if you are looking into a combi boiler, make sure that your installer has factored in your likely hot water usage and that this type of system will supply you what you need even at peak times.
An industrial boiler was originally used to heat up large buildings, before central air and heat was an option to use. The boiler heats up water inside and releases steam which can also be used as an energy.
