 of radiation will a 2-inch flow pipe care 

 for, if the coils are fifty feet longt 

 How many feet of radiation are there in 

 100 feet of 2-inch pipe, 1^-inch pipe 

 and 1-inch pipet Give the weight of 

 such piping. How many feet of hot 

 water radiation, with the water at 150 

 degrees, will be needed to heat 100 feet 

 of glass to 50 degrees in fairly well 

 built houses, in zero weather t How 

 many feet of radiation with the water 

 at 180 degrees t E. A. B.— Pa. 



The required size and height of a 

 chimney depend to some extent on the 

 character of the surroundings, since in 

 a location where the wind is broken by 

 trees, buildings or hills, a higher chim- 

 ney will be required than where there 

 are no obstructions. Boilers with long 

 return flues also require higher chim- 

 neys than where they are fairly direct. 

 Under average conditions, we would sug- 

 gest the use of a 12-inch chimney, thir- 

 ty-five feet high. With a slightly 

 larger chimney the height could be les- 

 sened, in an open country. The size of 

 grate mentioned seems unduly large and 

 the smoke flue rather small for a heat- 

 er with the rating given. 



If the returns are three feet above 

 the top of the boiler, a 2-inch flow pipe 

 will supply 200 square feet of radiation,
