HEATING. 

 I have two return tubular boilers. 

 One contains 73, the other 37 3-inch 

 tubes, 13 feet long. I want to know, 

 first, how many feet of li-inch pipe 

 can these boilers readilj' fill with steam; 

 second, the rule for ascertaining this 

 fact. Constant Reader. 



In reply to Constant Reader, approx- 

 imately, the two boilers he describes 

 have a combined capacity of about 90 

 h. p.; they will, therefore, easily pro- 

 vide steam for greenhouse heating suffi- 

 cient to supply about 17,000 lineal feet 

 of IJ-inch pipe. He can figure one h. p. 

 capable of furnishing steam for from 

 80 to 90 sq. ft. of radiating surface, 

 varying in accordance with the arrange- 

 ment and distribution of such surface. 

 Two and three-tenths lineal feet of 1:}- 

 inch pipe contain about one foot of-radi- 

 ating surface. Henky W. Gibbons.

DEPTH OF BOILER. 



How much should my steam boiler 

 be below the returns to insure a free 

 return of the condensed steam? 



SUBSCBIBER. 



In reply to Subscriber, in order to 

 have a free return of the condensed 

 steam back to the boiler in a greenhouse 

 heating plant the normal water line of 

 the boiler must be below the line of the 

 return main within the houses. There is 

 ■an advantage in additional depth, thus, 

 assuming the height of the normal water 

 line in the boiler to be 4 feet 6 inches 

 high, should make the boiler not less 

 than 5 feet deep below the return mains.

In reply to Mr. Gibbons, will say, the 

 ■drive pipe froze up last fall. I discon- 

 nected it and let it stand until this 

 spring, then I left the drive pipe the 

 same length as before, but increased the 

 size to IJ-inch. So far it has worked 

 fine, a great deal stronger tlian before, 

 and does not stop. Thanks to all for 

 the valuable information given me.
