QUICKEST 



Wk^ HEATERS IN THE WORLD 



The Kroeschell 



is making the most 

 wondttrf ul greenhouse 

 heating record in the 

 world. Florists who 

 have used other makes 

 are constantly giving 

 the Kroeschell the 

 highest praise. 



18,468,SS0 sa. ft. 

 of glass was eauipped 

 with the Kroeschell 

 Boiler during the past 

 five years. 



The Kroeschell 



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.

greenhouse, the dimensions of which are 

 as follows: It is 16x24 and twelve 

 feet high from ground to ridge. The 

 side walls are six feet high. The upper 

 half of these walls is glass; the lower 

 half is wood, covered with roofing 

 paper. There is a 3-foot bench on each 

 side and there is a 6-foot solid bed in 

 the center. The house runs east and 

 ■west and is pretty well sheltered. The 

 boiler room is at the east end. I have a 

 Hercules hot water boiler, rated at 900 

 feet of radiation. 



Will the results be satisfactory if I 

 run a 2%-inch flow pipe through the 

 center of the house, branching it off at 

 the west end to the coils under the side 

 benches, which will have six 1%-inch 

 return pipes? Will this piping be suf- 

 ficient to heat the house to a tempera- 

 ture of 60 to 65 degrees in the coldest 

 weather, when the outside temperature 

 18, say, 6 degrees below zerot

limited to six lines under each of the 

 side benches, we would not expect it to 

 maintain a temperature of 60 degrees in 

 zero weather in a greenhouse of the 

 dimensions given, although the number 

 of returns might answer in a house 100 

 to 150 feet in length, provided a corre- 

 sponding increase were made in the 

 number of flow pipes. The deficiency 

 lies in the fact that no provision is 

 made for the west end of the house, 

 which has something Uke seventy-two 

 square feet of glass and fifty square 

 feet of wooden wall, for which about 

 thirty square feet of radiation should 

 be provided. 



We would start two coils, each com' 

 posed of six 1%-inch return pipes, near 

 the middle of the west end of the house,
