PIPING THBEE NEW HOUSES. 



I am enclosing a rough sketch of my 

 proposed greenhouses, which I expect 

 to build this season. The range will 

 consist of three connected houses, each 

 25x120, running east and west. The 

 height to the gutters will be eight, feet. 

 House No. 1, the south house, will have 

 a 3-foot concrete waU at the south side, 

 with five feet of glass above 'the coti- 

 crete. In this house I shall want a 

 temperature of 60 degrees. In house 

 No. 2, the next house to the north, the 

 required temperature will be 55 de- 

 grees. House No. 3 will need a tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees. I shall use 

 a steam gravity system, with l^^-inch 

 returns. The outside temperature here 

 sometimes drops as low as 18 degrees 

 below zero. How many lines of 1%- 

 inch pipes will be required in each 

 house? F. R. G.— Kan. 



For the south house, 25x120, with five 

 feet of glass in the south wall, for a 

 temperature of 60 degrees when it is 

 15 to 18 degrees below zero outside, 

 we would put in one 2%-inch overhead 

 fiow pipe and twelve 1^-inch returns. 

 If raised beds are used, we would place 

 two returns under each of the benches 

 and the remainder of the returns on 

 the walls. For house No. 2 one flow 

 and ten returns should be used, and in 

 house No. 3 we would put in one flow 

 and eight returns, for 50 degrees. 



PIPING STEAM TO RESIDENCE. 



We have one horizontal tubular 

 boiler, 16x66, with which we are heat- 

 ing our greenhouses, using steam heat. 

 We wish to run a line to our residence, 

 which is about 1,000 feet distant. 

 Kindly inform us whether this would 

 be practical. If so, what size of pipe 

 would be necessary for the steam line 

 and the return pipe? What would be 

 the best method of insulating the pipes? 



H. H. M.— Mo. 



The size of the dwelling and the 

 amount of radiation required to heat it 

 should be considered in determining 

 whether it can be heated to advantage 

 from a central plant, but we would not 

 recommend the use of such a system 

 unless the amount of radiation in the 

 residence is at least twice as great as 

 the number of feet from the boiler to 

 the residence, which can hardly be the 

 case in this instance. 



In case a central heating plant is 

 used for the dwelling, a main about 

 two and one-half inches in diameter 

 should be used as the supply pipe, with 

 a 1%-inch pipe for the return. A con- 

 crete tunnel should be used for the flow 

 and return pipes. All pipes should be. 

 covered with asbestos pipe covering, 

 and care should be taken to have them 

 properly provided with expansion joints.
