CAPACITY OF BOILER. 



I have a two 10-inch Hue boiler, 

 thirty-two inches in diameter, sixteen 

 io,-t long. Can I heal with it. by hot 

 water, three greenhouses, each 20x80 

 feet, glass in ends, nunc on sides. The 

 houses ore builf together on the ridge 

 and furrow plan. < » m- outside house 

 i- used for lettuce, the other for carna- 



i -. and middle house for a general 



line of bedding plants. How many feet 

 ■ it _' inch pipe musi 1 use in ;i coil 

 boiler to heat these houses in case of 

 e rgency. J. V. K. 



The boiler described will have ample 

 capacity for heating the three houses 

 each 20x80 feet. A coil boiler made up 

 of 2-inch pipes, foi heating the above 

 houses should contain about 100 lineal 

 feet of 2-inch pipes.
