BOILER AND CHIMNEY. 



Does it make a difference in the draft 

 of a boiler wtiether it is far from or 

 near tlie chimney, and if so, what is the 

 difference? I intended placing a boiler 

 about thirty feet away and leading a 

 nearly horizontal smoke-pipe to my pres- 

 ent chimney, which is twenty-five feet 

 high, but I was told I would get no 

 draft at all, and that I would have to 

 either move it or make the chimney high- 

 er. Is that right? G. K. 

 Mich. 



Eeplying to G. K., it makes a great 

 difference whether the boiler is near 

 the chimney or far away from it. If it 

 is desired to use a horizontal flue thirty 

 feet from the boiler to the chimney, he 

 should certainly increase the height of 

 his chimney at least fifteen feet. An- 

 other question, however, suggests itself: 

 the chimney having been built for the 

 first boiler, has it sufficient capacity to 

 care for the second boiler with the handi- 

 cap of the long horizontal connecting flue? 

 I am inclined to think it would be better 

 to build a separate chimney, but cannot 

 say definitely without knowing all the 

 details of the case. 

 New York. Henbt W. Gibbons. 



PIPING. 



When we connect the boiler in our 

 new boiler pit with the greenhouse there 

 will be a down-grade of fourteen inches 

 in the length of the house, which is 

 ninety-eight feet long, hot water 

 to be used. Shall we have to 

 run flow pipes on a dead level or can 

 we run them along ridge, making the 

 water travel up the grade of fourteen 

 inches to highest point, which is ninety- 

 eight feet north from top of boiler? 

 Ohio. • P. & P. 



Eeplying to P. & P., as I understand 

 their description, there is a rise in the 

 floor of the greenhouse of about four- 

 teen inches from the boiler end to the 

 far end, thus, if the boiler is deep 

 enough to allow the flow pipes to enter 

 the house under the benches, all flows 

 and returns should follow the grade of 

 the land, thus the flow will rise to the 

 far end of the house and the returns will 

 fall back to the boiler end; if, however, 

 the cellar is not deep enough to aJlow 

 the flow to enter the greenhouse below 

 the bench, it may be carried at the ridge, 

 either following the grade of the house 

 or dropping, as desired; an expansion 

 tank will have to be placed at a point 

 above the highest part of the circulating 

 pipes. It would be better, if possible, 

 to run the flows and returns below the 

 bench. Henry W. Gibbons. 



New York. 



PIPING. 



How many lines of 2-inch pipes will 

 it take to heat with water so as to hold 

 at 60 degrees, where thermometer occa- 

 sionally falls to 10 to 14 degrees below 

 zero, a three-quarter span house, 18x112 

 inside of walls, 11% feet to ridge, side 

 walls 5% feet high, of hollow tile, one 

 row of 12x14 glass in side wall? 

 Ind, W. H. W. 



Replying to W. H. W., I would advise 

 him to use fourteen lines of 2-ineh pipes 

 in the house described, which will easily 

 maintain 60 degrees on coldest nights. 

 New York. Henry W. Gibbons.
