comply with the conditions, I judge that 

 in. southwest Virginia twelve returns 

 would be sufficient. They would make a 

 coil of four returns for each flow pipe. 



HEATING A SOUTHEBN HOUSE. 



Please tell me whether a Sunray round 

 heater, with a grate eighteen inches in 

 diameter, will heat a greenhouse 18x64, 

 five feet high to the eaves and eleven 

 feet high to the ridge, with glass gables 

 and three feet of glass in the side walls. 

 The boiler is further described as fol- 

 lows: Heating capacity in gallons, 500; 

 direct radiation, 400; heats water in 

 tank from 50 to 150 degrees in four 

 hours, or 25 degrees per hour. 



T. B. W.— La. 



While the boiler described would not 

 heat a greenhouse 18x64 in more north- 

 ern latitudes, we note that the iuquiry is 

 from Louisiana, where we infer that the 

 mercury seldom drops below 20 degrees 

 above zero, and much of the time in 

 winter it is above 32 degrees at night. 



The temperature needed in the house 

 is not given, but there should be no 

 difficulty in maintaining 60 degrees un- 

 der the conditions named. We would 

 use one 2%-inch main flow pipe, connect- 

 ed at the farther end of the house with 

 three coils. Two of the coils would 

 each consist of three 2-inch returns; 

 the other coil would contain two returns 



EELATIVE SIZES OF PIPE. 



Please inform us how much 2-inch 

 hot water piping will be needed to heat 

 a greenhouse 18x75, with 6-foot side 

 walls and a height of twelve feet to the 

 ridge. Also give us an estimate of the 

 required amount of piping if.. the 1%- 

 inch size is used. The house will be 

 sided with lumber on the north and will 

 adjoin another greenhouse on the south. 

 Both ends will be exposed. The temper- 

 ature desired is 55 degrees when the out- 

 side temperature is 15 degrees below 

 zero. T. F. C— Ind. 



For heating the house with 2-inch 

 pipe, we would use four flows and eight 

 returns. In case 1^4 -inch pipe is to be 

 placed in the house, we would use it only 

 for returns, running 2-inch or 2iA-inch 

 pipes as flows. Three 2i^-inch or four 

 2-inch flows and ten 1^-inch returns 

 might be used, although we would pre- 

 fer to use not less than 1%-inch re- 

 turns. 



With either 2-inch or l^^-inch returns, 

 we would recommend three 2M!-inch in-
