Turn Your Waste 

 Into Profit 



In many Greenhouses steam-lines are allowed to blow 

 off into atmosphere. This is a plain case of waste — 

 it has taken a lot of heat to make steam from water 

 and here it is being wasted. But there are many 

 Florists who are confident that they have stopped this 

 waste, and yet theyi still are wasting about one-third

You see, although they know the elementary fact of 

 engineering, that there is a big difference between live steam and steam that is just above the boiling 

 point, they did not stop to think of this when they bought a steam pump to handle condensation. 



A steam pump cannot handle condensation hotter than 212*^ F. (boiling point at sea level). Now the 

 condensation under pressure in the steam lines may be 330*^ or 340*^ F. They have to let the con- 

 densation cool off in a receiver before the pump will handle it. Here is 33^% loss. 



A "DETROIT" SYSTEM will handle condensation up to 340" F., and will shoot it back into the 

 boiler before it has a chance to cool. 



Are you sure you are getting every possible bit of heat out of your condensation? 



Why not read up on the subject? There is a very interesting book, No. 5-A, which you may get from

adjoining the boiler room. The new 

 house will require a temperature of 

 60 degrees. It will have cement walls 

 to the gutter on both sides, with glass 

 in the end opposite the boiler room. 

 The beds will be solid. Please tell me 

 what size of pipes to use in the new 

 house and how to arrange them. Will 

 the 4-inch inlet and outlet be sufficient 

 for both houses! A. G.— Ind. 



There should be no difficulty in heat- 

 ing both houses with a 35-horsepower 

 boiler. In fact, if the grate is of suit- 

 able size and the smokestack is high 

 enough and large enough to give suf- 

 ficient draft, the boiler would furnish 

 heat for four times the present radia- 

 tion. If the boiler has other flow and 

 return ports, we would prefer to use the 

 4-inch flow and return ports for the 

 house 30x75, but, if this cannot be read- 

 ily arranged, 2%-inch flow and return 

 pipes leading to the new house may be 

 connected to the present 4-inch mains 

 near the boiler. 



To provide 60 degrees in the house 

 16x25, we would run a 2%-inch flow 

 pipe to the farther end of the house, 

 about two feet below the ridge, and 

 connect it with two coils of four 2-inch 

 retorns. These should start at the 

 middle of the end of the house and 

 follow the walls around to the boiler 

 end upon each of the walls.'
