'feet and two 12x60 feet, the sketch shows 

 cross sections of five houses, three 

 of which are marked as having respec- 

 tively three, four and five 5-foot benches. 

 From this we would infer that these 

 houses must be of varying width?. The 

 other houses are marked "propagating 

 houses" and "two 5-foot benches." 

 These houses appear to have a width of 

 twelve feet. The letter does not state 

 the temperature to be maintained, but 

 as 60 degrees is the usual amount of 

 heat required, we estimate that in the 

 house 30x60 feet, one 2-inch overhead 

 flow pipe and sixteen 1-inch returns are 

 required. If there are four benches in 

 each house, it will necessitate four re- 

 turn pipes under each bench. For the 

 12-foot houses we would use a l^^-inch 

 flow pipe and six 1-inch returns. 



SIZE OF BOILEB TO USE. 



Please let me know what size of hot 

 water boiler I shall require to heat four 

 houses, one 40x150 feet, one 30x120 feet 

 and two 12x100 feet. They are all sep- 

 arate. Must it be low in the pit? What 

 make do vou recommend? H. C. — Pa. 



The letter does not state what tem- 

 peratures are to be maintained in the 

 different houses or the average minimum 

 winter temperatures. For most purposes, 

 a temperature of either 50 to 55 degrees 

 or of 55 to 60 degrees is used. We would 

 suggest for the house 40x150 feet about 

 2,400 square feet of radiation, for the 

 house 30x120 feet 1,450 square feet of 

 radiation and in each of the smaller 

 houses 475 square feet for a tempera- 

 ture of 60 to 65 degrees when the out- 

 side temperature is 10 degrees below 

 zero. If 50 to 55 degrees will suffice, the 

 radiation can be cut to twenty-five per 

 cent less than that stated above. 



For heating the four houses to 60 

 (^egrees, using bituminous coal, we would 

 use two boilers, each rated at about 

 3,200 square feet of radiation. One 

 boiler will answer in mild weather and 

 in zero weather both boilers will heat 

 the houses easily. For a temperature 

 of 50 to 55 degrees we would use two 

 boilers, each rated at 2,400 square feet 

 of radiation. 



As radiation for these houses for 60 

 degrees, we would use five 3-inch flow 

 pipes and fifteen 2%-inch returns in the 

 house 40x150 feet. For the house 30x 

 120 feet, five 2%-inch flow pipes and 

 fourteen 2-inch returns will be required. 

 in each of the 12xl00-foot houses, three 

 2^-inch flow pipes and six 2-inch re- 

 turns will suffice.
