PIPE CUT TO SKETCH 



JAMES F. GRIFFITH 



Inch returns may be used in houses 

 fifty to sixty feet in length. For a 

 temperature of 50 degrees in the north 

 end of the house, we would use the 

 present flow pipes without change, ex- 

 cept that we would run them, downhill 

 from the boiler, giving a slope of one 

 foot. The returns in the north end of 

 the house may also be left as at pres- 

 ent, except that we would cut them 

 off at the partition and connect each 

 of the four coils with the boiler by 

 means of a 2-inch pipe. There should 

 be a good gate valve on each flow and 

 return main and each of the main re- 

 turns should have a valve for draining 

 off the water when the system is not in 

 use during the winter. 



To heat the south end of the house to 

 65 degrees during the spring months, 

 we would run a 2^- inch flow pipe two 

 feet below the ridge and a 2-inch flow 

 pipe upon each plate, and connect them 

 with the return coils now in that por- 

 tion of the house. The addition of the 

 four returns from the north house and 

 the three flow pipes put in to supply the 

 south house, with the present radiation, 

 should give the desired temperature in 

 the spring, when both rooms are 

 warmed, while during the winter, with 

 the north portion cut out, the tempera- 

 ture will be little if any more than 50 

 degrees in the south room. We would 

 advise using two 3-inch main flow and 

 return pipes to connect the systems 

 with the boiler.

COAX. OR NATUIIAI. GAS? 



Can you tell me the difference in the 

 results from a gas boiler and a coal 

 boiler, as to economy and efficiency? 

 I am thinking of putting in an emer- 

 gency boiler. The present boiler takes 

 care of my houses satisfactorily, but 

 if anything should happen to it, I 

 might have no end of difficulty in 

 keeping the place warm. I am now 

 using natural gas for fuel in a coal 

 boiler. The question now is, shall I put 

 in a gas boiler or another coal boiler f 

 J. J, B.— O. 



Whether gas or coal is used as fuel, 

 there need be no difference in the boiler 

 except that a gas burner is required 

 for the former, while a g^ate is needed 

 for the latter. The comparative econ- 

 omy of the two kinds of fuel depends 

 largely, of course, upon the cost of 

 each in any particular locality, but due 

 allowance must be made for the saving 

 in the labor of firing and removing the 

 ashes, which make up a considerable 

 proportion of the expense of operating 

 a boiler heated by coal. As a rule, 

 gas is the cheaper fuel in localities 

 where there is an abundance of natural 

 gas. 



Of course, when gas is used as fuel, 

 there ia some risk on account of low 

 pressure and other causes, especially in 

 extremely cold weather, when the heat 

 is most needed. Therefore since gas 

 is now used in the heating of the 

 greenhouses, we would suggest putting 

 in a coal-burning boiler as an emer- 

 gency measure, as this would then be 

 available even if the gas heating sys- 

 tem failed.
