STEAM HEATING. 



Please tell me how many lines of 

 iy 2 -inch pipes I need to heat a carna- 

 tion house 23 feet wide, even span, 

 l1 ] /2 feet to the ridge, and 4-foot wall, 

 with steam. Outside temperature 

 sometimes goes as low as 30 degrees 

 below zero. 



How can I arrange pipes next to 

 the wall without having main pipe 

 through the top of the house, and 

 what size should this pipe be for a 

 house 85 feet long? H. S. 



In reply to the inquiry of H. S. rela- 

 tive to the steam heating of his green- 

 In nise, he proposes, as I understand, 

 to run pipes on the outer sides only. 

 This will not give as even warmth as 

 if some of the surface is distributed 

 under the central benches. 



If he decides to place the surface 

 on the outer sides only, and wishes to 

 avoid the running of any overhead 

 pipes, he should carry the steam 

 mains as high on the posts as possi- 

 ble, giving a fall to the end of the 

 house farthest from the boiler, and 

 then return on a lower level, still 

 falling all the way back to the boiler. 



For maintaining 50 degrees on cold- 

 est nights he will require (assuming 

 that he uses one and a half inch pipe) 

 ten lines, five on each side. He would 

 get much better results, however, by 

 using smaller pipes, say fifteen lines 

 of one-inch pipe, eight on north side 

 and seven on south side. 



For carrying steam to these coils 

 from the boiler he will need a two- 

 inch steam pipe and one and a half 

 return to each side of the house. The 

 same size mains will answer for the 

 85-foot house.
