3-inch ami so on until it reaches the 

 farthest end? I have 4inch pipe on 

 hand which can he used for return to 

 outlet, but I have no more 2 inch jtipe. 

 The system so far installed consists of 

 4-inch mains reduced to 2-incli mains, 

 with 2-inch returns. C. T. M. — O. 



The accompanying sketch shows a 

 cross section of a range of five green 

 houses, but one essential has been 

 omitted, namely, the dimensions of 

 the houses. Had the length and width 

 of the houses been given, I could have 

 been more definite in answering the 

 questions. 



The No. 5 Kroeschell boiler is rated 

 to heat 12,000 square feet of glass to 6(i 

 degrees when it is 15 degrees below 

 zero. This, then, 'indicates that it would 

 be possible to heat the five liouses as 

 described, if they are approximately 

 20x100 feet each. From the data given 

 it is to be inferred that house No. 1 is 

 piped for 60 degrees and Nos. 2 and ^ 

 for about 50 degrees. It is stated that 

 sufiicient radiation is desired in Nos. 4 

 and 5 to keep the plants from freezing. 

 This will not require much more than 

 one-half as much radiation as for 60 

 degrees. For temporary purposes as 

 above outlined, the boiler should be able 

 to keep out frost in Nos. 4 and 5, in ad- 

 dition to heating house No. 1 to 60 de- 

 grees and Nos. 2 and 3 to 5(1 degrees, 

 even though they be as large as 20x150 

 feet, in a climate such as "may be ex- 

 pected in southern Ohio. 



To heat these houses, run a 4-inch 

 pipe as a flow and take off from this a 

 3*^-inch supply pipe for each of the new 

 houses. Run this overhead to the 

 farther end of each house. If thcv are

 more in house No. 5 if there is glass in 

 the exposed wall, assuming that it is to 

 be pij)ed to keep out the frost and that 

 the IVi-inch pipe is to he used. Ordi- 

 narily it is not advisable to use pipes 

 less than l^^-inch for houses more than 

 fifty feet in length and in this case the 

 pipes should be carried as high as pos- 

 sible on the walls and purlin posts. 



For heating a house 20x100 feet to 

 60 degrees, three 2"2-inch flow pipes and 

 nine 2-inch returns would be best.

 the returns from houses 4 and 5, but, 'f 

 this is out of the question, run a 3-incii 

 return back from each of the new houst ^ 

 and connect each of them to one of the 

 returns now in use, as close to the boiler 

 as possible.
