Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Eeview to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



rOE PUMPING THE EXHAUST. 



We are rebuilding some houses and 

 will use a 28-horsepower steam boiler 

 of locomotive type. We will sink it 

 two feet below the level of the ground, 

 thus leaving the top of the boiler three 

 and one-half feet above the ground 

 level, with the top of the dome two 

 feet higher. We have a steam pump 

 with a 114-inch inlet and a 1-inch out- 

 let; it can be operated with twelve 

 pounds of steam. We also have a ro- 

 tary pump with a li4-inch inlet and a 

 1-inch outlet; it can be run with an 

 electric motor. Could we pump the ex- 

 haust out of the return tank and back 

 into the boiler with one or both of these, 

 or will it be necessary to buy a return 

 trap? If we can use either of these, 

 it will save the cost of installing a new 

 outfit. J. M. P.— O. 



Either of the pumps mentioned may 

 be used for pumping the return water 

 into the boiler, but of the two we would 

 prefer to use the rotary pump operated 

 by means of an electric motor, as it will 

 then be possible to use low-pressure 

 steam for heating purposes, while if the 

 steam pump is used it will be necessary 

 to maintain at all times sufficient pres- 

 sure to operate the pump. 



CRUDE OIL AS FUEL. 



I am thinking of using oil as fuel 

 to heat a range of 8,000 feet of glass. 

 I have a steam boiler. What would it 

 cost to install an oil burner and other 

 necessary apparatus and where can I 

 get them? J. W. T.— Mont. 



To get the best results from crude 

 oil in the heating of greenhouses, a 

 steam jet is desirable for vaporizing 

 the oil, and it is advisable to provide, 

 for furnishing this steam pressure, a 

 boiler which is not connected with the 

 oil-heated system. In order to utilize 

 Buch a boiler to advantage in connec- 

 tion with a greenhouse range, the area 

 to be heated should be considerably 

 larger than the one described. In fact.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY: 



FIRST LETTER. 



Walton. N. Y.. Jan. 4. 1916. 

 Gentlemen: Your Naw No. 48 Water Tube Steam Boiler is the 



finest steam boiler we have ever fired, and have fired eleven different makes 

 before. Your boiler keeps steam from 9 p. m. to 6 a. m.. without attention 

 on zero !nights. Before we had three boilers and could not control tempera- 

 tures so easily as we can with yours. The little time consumed in cleaning 

 same is wonderful, and we are very well pleased. The water line is steady, 

 and it holds its steam well. If we ever install another boiler, you can rest 

 assured it will be a Kroesobell. If I can be of any assistance to you in 

 showing your boiler to anyone, would be pleased to do so, or, if anyone in 

 your locality wants local reference, I will gladly give same. 



SECOND LETTER. 



Walton. N. Y.. Jan. 10. 1916. 

 Gentlemen : Since writing you on Jan. 4, the other morning it went 

 down to 40 below zero, and I fired the No. 46 boiler at 11 p. m.; had 10 lbs. of 

 steam on with the draft half open, the houses all registering 48° to 52°. and 

 the No. 4 house 60". We bricked in our boiler, so we lose no heat in the 

 boiler room; we find it a great saving: any other information cheerfully 

 given. Yours respectfully. 



[Signed] TRIPP FLORAL CO. 



The Kroeschell 



is making the most 

 wonderful greenhouse 

 heating record in the 

 world. Florists who 

 have used other makes 

 are constantly giving 

 the Kroeschell the 

 highest praise. 



18,468,820 so. ft. 

 of glass was eauipped 

 with the Krseschell 

 Boiler during the past 

 five years. 



Tbe KroescheD 



is used by hundreds 

 of Florists' Review 

 readers and mighty is 

 their praise. The year 

 of 1916 brought an 

 enormous number of 

 new customers who 

 saw our boilers in 

 operation at other 

 places. We attribute 

 the large sales of this 

 season to the good 

 work the Kroeschell 

 Boiler is doing every- 

 where.
