Explanation: TonyTK is right about the meaning. My inclination would be to interpret 'Brenner' rather broadly here, since the idea is that the furnace or boiler is top-fired (burner or burners located on the top face pointing downward, so the flame emerges vertically downward). I doubt that there is any significant (functional) difference between burners used for top firing and side or front firing; only the placement in the furnace differs.
Obviously, the entire phrase will need some rewording.
