Creenhonse Heating. 



THKEi: FIiOWS PEEFEEABLE. 



I have a greenhouse 34x104, six feet 

 high to the eaves and fourteen feet to 

 the ridge. The south wall contains one 

 row of 18-ineh glass. Aside from that, 

 the sides are covered with ship-lap and 

 lined with heavy tarred paper. About 

 one-third of the east end is glass; the 

 rest of it is lined like the sides. The 

 boiler room and potting shed are at 

 the west end of the house. It will be 

 heated with hot water and I want a 

 temperature of 60 degrees in zero 

 weather. I should like to have the 

 flows on each side. What size of pipe 

 and how many returns will be needed? 

 There will be one raised bench at the 

 south side; the others will be solid 

 beds. I may build another house, 18x50, 

 constructed the same as the larger house 

 and adjoining it on the north side. It 

 will contain three raised benches. How 

 should it be piped to maintain the same 

 temperature? What radiation should 

 the boiler have? D. W. L. — Ind. 



For piping the larger house we would 

 use a 4-inch flow pipe on each plate, 

 with eighteen 2-inch returns on the side 

 walls and under the raised bench, if 

 all of the flows are to be on the walls. 

 We would prefer, however, to place a 

 3-inch flow on each plate and run a 2%- 

 inch flow four or five feet below the 

 ridge. Six returns should then be con- 

 nected with each flow pipe, those from 

 the overhead flow being placed in the 

 walks or on the sides of the beds. For 

 the house 18x50 jve would. use a 2%- 

 inch flow pipe upon each plate and five 

 2-inch returns on each wall, under- 

 neath. To heat the two houses, we 

 would use a boiler rated for about 3,000 

 square feet of hot water radiation. 



THE INQUntY IS INDEFINITE. 



I am building a greenhouse 30x300 

 and would appreciate a little advice. 

 What will be the necessary horsepower 

 of a boiler to heat this house using 

 high-pressure steam? What is the best 

 method of piping the house for steam? 



B. L. J. — Conn. 



The temperature desired is not stated, 

 but for an average of 60 degrees, when 

 the outside temperature is 10 degrees 

 below zero, a boiler with a rating of 

 thirty to thirty-five horsepower would 

 answer. In case there is a probability 

 that a second house of the same size 

 will be erected, we would suggest that 

 a boiler of fifty horsepower be installed.

to take care of both houses. While used 

 for one house, the cost of fuel with the 

 larger boiler would be but little if any 

 more, and might be less in extremely 

 severe weather. 



In order to give any really definite 

 suggestions regarding the piping of a 

 greenhouse, one should not only know 

 what temperature is desired at night 

 in the coldest weather, but the dura- 

 tion and intensity of the cold spells 

 sh«uld be considered, and the extent to 

 which the house is exposed to high 

 winds. The amount of glass in the roof, 

 sides and ends of the house should be 

 used as the basis for determining the 

 amount of radiation, and if there is 

 a great deal of wooden or other exposed 

 w^l surface, it should also be taken 

 into account. In order to make sugges- 

 tions for the location and arrangement 

 of the heating pipes, it is important 

 that data be at hand relating to the

 whether beds or benches are to be used 

 and mentioning the location of the 

 boiler, doors, etc., as well as the pur-

 It will be seen, therefore, that no 

 precise suggestions can be based upon 

 the information furnished, but under 

 average conditions, in a well built house 

 which does not have more than thirty 

 inches of glass in each of the side walls, 

 it should be possible to maintain a tem-
