Ever watched The Shining?
They had to keep a guy around to keep the boiler working properly/not exploding.
The computer replaces that guy’s job.

Yes real boilers have emergency systems to prevent explosions, but a computer would keep the boiler from even getting to the point it would be needed.

So the boiler heats water, but it also needs to monitor stuff like pressure,and can also open and close valves to control it.
The computer is probably still very simple though.
