Whether a square brick or a round 

 steel stack is used, we would make it 

 twenty inches, in diameter. This size 

 will answer if the height of the stack is 

 thirty-five or forty feet above the en- 

 trance of the smoke-pipe from the boil- 

 er. If only twenty-five or thirty feet 

 high, it should be twenty-four inches in 

 diameter. In either case the stack should 

 extend several feet above the neighbor- 

 ing builciings, trees, or other objects 

 which might obstruct the draft. If it is 

 to be three feet or more in diameter, 

 we would prefer to build a round stack 

 of reinforced concrete. 



HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS. 



In the issue of February 6 one of the 

 questions by L. M. M. was overlooked. 

 He asked for information regarding the 

 number of square feet of radiation al- 

 lowed per horsepower for steam heat- 

 ing, and also for hot water heating. 

 The portion regarding steam heating 

 was answered to the effect that 100 

 square feet of radiation could be used 

 for each horsepower. 



When a boiler is used for hot water, 

 provided it is adapted for the })urpo8e, 

 it will handle the same amount of glass, 

 but practically twice as much radiating 

 surface in the greenhouse will be re- 

 quired as when steam is used and, be- 

 sides, not only should larger pipes be 

 used for coils, but the flows and returns 

 should be considerably larger. When 

 the estimates are made on the minimum 

 temperature likely to prevail, it will be 

 safe to select a boiler for hot water 

 heating based on one horsepower for 

 each 200 feet of radiation; but when 

 only ordinarily low temperatures are 

 considered, it will be better to figure the 

 horsepower of the boiler at about three- 

 fourths of the manufacturer's rating 

 and make a corresponding reduction in 

 the amount of radiation to be handled. 

 This will apply both to steam and hot 

 water heating. For boilers under sixty 

 horsepower, an even greater reduction 

 should be made.
