KROESCHELL HEATERS FOR LON- 

 DON. 



Two No. 14 Kroeschell Boilers are 

 now under construction at the works 

 of the Kroeschell Bros. Co. at Chi- 

 cago, and which are to be used for 

 the new central hot water heating sys- 

 tem (forced circulation) for Lowe & 

 Shawyer, Uxbridge, London, Middle- 

 sex, England. Each boiler measures 

 60 inches in width, 50 inches' in 

 height, and 16 feet in length. These 

 boilers will be constructed complete 

 at the Kroeschell factory, and when 

 finished will be loaded on board 

 freight cars to begin their long jour- 

 ney from Chicago to London. The 

 cars will be placed alongside of the 

 ocean steamer and loaded direct. 



The shipping weight of Kroeschell's 

 No. 14 is in the neighborhood of 14,- 

 000 pounds, and it will be interesting 

 to learn that the freight on these boil- 

 ers from Chicago to London is les.'5 

 than the freight charges from Chicago 

 to the Pacific Coast. 



The capacity of a No. 14 Kroeschell 

 is 12,000 lineal feet of four-inch pipe 

 In addition to the mains. The im- 

 mense glass capacity of these boilers 

 can be grasped by their rating con- 

 verted in 1%-inch pipe, of which a 

 No. 14 Kroeschell will heat 5% miles 

 of this size pipe for hot water heat- 

 ing if placed from end to end.
