In central heating extremely hot oil is circulated through pipes/tubing - in contact with the appliance (in this case a boiler). Pretty simple. This method is used for economic reasons. Its usually the cheapest way to deliver heat. X $ amount per calorie (heat delivered) factoring in reliability of the equipment/operational labor, etc.
Oil fired boilers
Work on the same principle as any other fuel burning boiler.
Many one family homes use #2 oil gas well as multi family homes and commercial establishments as the flame produced by natural gas hovers between 900 -1,200 BTU per cubic foot and # 2 oil produces 138,000 -140,000 Per Gallon of fuel burned thus oil heats faster than many other fuels with the added protection that in case of a leak Oil will burn but not explode as propane or natural gas fuel.
Many localities do not have gas lines installed and electric is very expensive for boiler use . In the UK oil is stored in an outside tank, it is then fed (gravity) to a boiler which burns at a controlled rate to heat the water in the tank. The water is then pumped round to radiators, which radiate heat into the rooms to the desired temperature. Oil boilers can be situated either internally or externally.

Radiators are cold on second floor source of heat is a oil fired boiler?
The fuel does not matter, it would be more relevant to post if you are hot water or steam, that is where your problem lies. If steam try raising the boiler cutout pressure a little bit and if hot water look at the boiler pressure, does the pump work, is the coupling broken and do you have air in the system that needs to be bled?
What size oil fired boiler requires a pilot instead of an igniter?
Its not about size, its about controls. If the unit has a control board with IC chips, it uses a glow plug. If it uses mechanical switches, as most older units do, it will have a pilot.

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.

How do you clean an oil fired boiler?
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.
