The Florists' Review

can be done without impairing the effi- 

 ciency of the system, and are run over- 

 head in the new house, it will only be 

 necessary to use six and five returns, 

 respectively, in the wall coils. We ad- 

 vise that the flows run downhill and 

 that the expansion tank be connected 

 with the highest point in the system. 



BETTER USE LARGER RETURNS. 



Please tell me how to pipe a green- 

 house 12x100, using 2-inch pipe for 

 flows and l^/^-inch pipe for returns, to 

 get a temperature of 50 degrees in zero 

 weather. There will be two feet of 

 glass in the sides, and three feet of 

 wall below the glass will be boarded. 

 The ridge will be about nine feet high. 

 How many square feet of radiation will 

 be required for 50 degrees at zero? 

 This is the way I figure the piping for 

 the house: Eun two 2-inch flows under 

 the ridge to the far end and then drop 

 them under the benches, so that one 

 flow will feed four runs of IV^-inch 

 pipe on the west side of the house and 

 the other flow will feed three runs of 

 1%-inch pipe on the east side. What 

 temperature would that piping give? 

 If that plan is not correct, please sug- 

 gest a better way. How should a boiler 

 for this house be rated? 



W. R. D.— Pa. 



The radiation suggested in the in- 

 quiry is exactly the same as we figurcMJ 

 it out independently from the data 

 given. The actual radiation will be not 

 far from 350 square feet, and, while 

 different makes of boilers are rated 

 differently, it will most likely be safe 

 if a boiler rated at 450 to 500 square 

 feet of radiation is selected. Unless 

 the top of the boiler is considerably 

 below the returns, or the water is car- 

 ried under pressure, we prefer to use 

 2-inch pipes for the returns in houses 

 over seventy-five or eighty feet long. 

 While the sizes suggested would give 

 good results, we would prefer to use 

 six 2-inch returns, and five would 

 answer for 50 degrees in all except the 

 coldest weather.
