Firing Rate vs Boiler Load

Hi there,

Can anyone explain or is there a graph on how firing rate relates to boiler load?
I'm wondering on how does combustion efficiency relates to boiler efficiency.
On my perspective, a boiler with a burner turndown of 4:1 (25% lowest firing rate) will have 4 different efficiencies (100% to 25%) but it does not take into account the boiler load.
