A FAULTY INSTALLATION. 

 We have a house 33x126, one 8x126 

 and a lean-to 19x1 li. In the wide house 

 there are three 3-inch hot water flows, 

 with lj-ineh returns. In the lean-to there 

 is a 2-inch feed pipe, a coil of li-inch 

 pipes and a 2-inch return. The flow pipe 

 from the boiler is a 5-inch, decreasing 

 as each house is taken off, and the re- 

 turn increases as it passes from the 

 lean-to, the narrow house and the wide 

 house. The lean-to is to the east, and we 

 call the coils Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from 



54 West 30th 



PLEASE MENTION THE REVIEW WHEN WRITING ANY 



east to west. There is a rise of three 

 feet from the top of boiler to end of 

 flows. The return pipe drops five feet 

 perpendicularly on entering the boiler 

 shed. The boiler, a 10-section Magee, is 

 supposed to have a capacity of '2.975 feet 

 of radiation. On firing this installation. 

 using a good grade of soft coal, the only 

 run which worked was No. 1. in the 

 lean-to, the return pipe, on leaving the 

 house, being very nearly as hot as the 

 flow where it entered. Run No. 2 failed 

 entirely to heat the returns and Nos. 

 3. 4 aiid 5 heated the lj-inch coil only 

 for about 20 feet at the far end of the 

 house, this when all the flows were so hot 

 we could hold a hand on them only a 

 few seconds. There was considerable 

 pressure on, and no air in the pipes so 

 far as we know. What do you think i« 

 the trouble? Could we make the appa- 

 ratus work by using 2-inch pipes in the 

 coils? Instead of running the pipes un- 

 der the benches, should we take our 3- 

 inch flows at an angle of 45 degrees 

 until they are 18 inches from the gutters 

 and then run them upward until at the 

 far end of the house they are against 

 the under side of the gutter, then return- 

 ing to the main with the 2-inch pipes on 

 the walls or posts? Will the 3-inch flows 

 supply five 2-inch returns. 



D. B. 



The slow circulation may be due to a 

 number of causes which are not indi- 

 cated in the sketches and description 

 forwarded. No mention is made of the 

 grades of the circulating pipes nor the 

 arrangement of fittings and connections 

 between the circulating coils and return 

 mains, whether the coils connect to the 

 side of the mains at grade or drop to 

 mains at a lower level and whether they 

 connect to top or side. These details 

 may have a close relation to the existing 

 trouble, and in view of the fact that the 

 water circulates quickly around coil No. 



1 and is hot in the return main until No. 



2 coil is reached and backs up coil No. 2 

 would lead one to look for the cause of 

 the trouble at some of these points. In 

 coil No. 2 the flow run of 124 feet of 

 2-inch pipe is too long to feed the six 

 lines of lj-ineh pipes. It were better to 

 make one-third of the pipes in the coils 

 flows and two-thirds returns. The rear- 

 rangement proposed would tend to give 

 better results, but if they will send 

 sketch and description of the coil con- 

 nections to the returns and state accu- 

 rately the direction and extent of the 

 grades of coil pipes, I will endeavor to 

 give more detailed advice.
