HEATING CAPACITY. 

 Will you please publish a rule for es- 

 timating the horse-pqiver of a tubular 

 steam boiler and also a rule for esti- 

 mating its capacity for greenhouse heat- 

 ing, both for steam and hot water? 



S. B. 



It is not an easy matter to estimate 

 the horse-power of a boiltr, as the num- 

 ber and size of the flues, the length of 

 the shell and the number of pounds 

 pressure maintained all go to determine 

 this point. There are, however, simple 

 rules governing the heating capacity of 

 boilers. This is determined by the heat- 

 ing surface of the boiler, the grate sur- 

 face and the kind of fuel used. The 

 heating surface in a boiler is that por- 

 tion of the boiler which is exposed to 

 the direct action of the fire or the heat- 

 ed gases. In practice one square foot 

 of grate surface is allowed for forty 

 feet of heating surface in the boiler 

 when hard coal is used, and one foot of 

 grate surface to eighty feet of heating 

 surface when soft coal is used. One 

 foot of heating surface in a boiler will 

 supply heat for about eight feet of radi- 

 ation," and one foot of radiation will sup- 

 ply heat for three to nine square feet of 

 glass, depending upon the conditions it 

 is desired to maintain. If you have a 

 specific problem send it in; we may be 

 able to assist vou in solving it.

HOT WATER HEAT. 



I have a house even span 30x200 fcst, 

 nine feet to ridge, three feet of glass on 

 the sides. I wish to heat it with _ hot 

 water to maintain 50 degrees when it is 

 20 below zero outside. With a 3-inch 

 flow how many 2-inch returns will be 

 required. P- F. 



The house under discussion, using hot 

 water at ISO degrees, will require 1,700 

 square feet of radiating surface to main- 

 tain a temperature of .50 degrees during 

 cold weather. That means 2,720 lineal 

 feet of 2-inch pipe, or fourteen returns 

 the length of the house. A 3-inch riser 

 is not large enough to care for this 

 amount of radiation. A 3-ineh pipe is 

 capable of supplying only about 90' i 

 square feet of racliation. A 4-inch riser 

 will, therefore, be necessary to carry the 

 fourteen runs of 2-ineh pipe needed 

 in this house. This presupposes that the 

 boiler bas sutlicient heating surface to 

 supply the house with water at 180 de- 

 grees. JIJ- C- C.
