HOT WATER VS. STEAM. 



J- should be glad of some advice on 

 heating my greenhouses, three in num- 

 ber, each 19x56, three-quarter span. 

 There is glass in the east end and there 

 are 12-inch side lights. We are heating 

 with a twelve horse-power steam boiler 

 and it costs me $12 to $15 per week with 

 coal at $7.50 per ton. I want to know 

 if it would be cheaper to heat my small 

 place with hot water instead of steam? 

 I have two 2-ineh mains on each side of 

 the houses, on the posts overhead, run- 

 ning to the east end and returning on 

 the south side in a coil of three 1%- 

 inch pipes and on the north side in a 

 coil of four 114-inen pipes. The house 

 nearest the boiler is warm enough with 

 one 2-ineh main and the north coil. The 

 temperature required is 50 to 55 de- 

 grees at night when it is 5 degrees above 

 zero outdoors. How many 1 14-inch pipes 

 will- be required for hot water? Would 

 hot water be more economical? E. G. 



By increasing the number of 1%-inch 

 pipes to thirteen in each house, placing 

 an expansion tank on the return pipe 

 close to the boiler, with the tank at least 

 ten feet above the highest point in the 

 system, making the tank of at least fifty 

 gallons capacity, the houses can be 

 heated with hot water. This will require 

 much less attention than the steam and 

 may prove somewhat less expensive in 

 fuel. If during cold spells the hot water 

 should prove inadequate it is a simple 

 matter to have valves so arranged that 

 the expansion tank can be cut off, the 

 water drained to the proper level and 

 the plant run as a steam plant. When 

 milder weather returns the hot water 

 plant can again be put in operation. 

 This is one of the great advantages 

 which the modern hot water system pos- 

 sesses over the old, open cast iron pipe 

 svstem. L. C. C.
