Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any detailia of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



PIPING TWO HOUSES. 



Will you be so kind as to help me with 

 my problem in heating? I have two 

 greenhouses, with a shed and boiler pit 

 in the center. The east house is 31x90, 

 containing 6,000 square feet. I wish to 

 grow roses in this house. What piping 

 will be needed to heat it to 63 or 70 

 degrees in zero weatlier? The west 

 house is 30x65 and is to be used for car- 

 nations. In it I want a temiterature of 

 50 to 55 degrees. I have a No. 3 

 Kroeschell boiler, the top of which is 

 even with the floor of tlie greenhouses. 

 The boiler has three 4-inch outlets and 

 tliree 4-incli openings for returns. 



W. H.— Utah. 



We are not able to furnish any really 

 definite suggestions for lieating tlie 

 houses described, from the fact that the 

 description is incomplete, and particu- 

 larly because the amount of glass iu the 

 walls is not stated. It also appears that 

 an error has been made in computing 

 the area of glass in the larger house. 

 To have 6,000 square feet of glass in a 

 house ."51x90, the glass in the walls on 

 three sides of the house would liave to 

 be more than twelve feet high. 



It seems more likely th<-it tliere will 

 not 1)0 more than three feet of glass, 

 and in that case we would use a 214-inch 

 flow upon each plate and three others 

 overlicad, placing one about throe feet 

 below the ridge and one on each side 

 about halfway between the lidge and 

 the plates. For the returns we would 

 use a coil of four 2-iiich jiipos on each 

 side wall, or under each side bench, and 

 three coils of three 2-inch pipes each 

 under the otluM- heiichos, comiecting each 

 of the coils with one of the overhead 

 flows. 



If the 6,000 s(|uarc feet of glass are 

 correct, we wouhl change the suggested 

 pi])ing by substituting .T-inch flows for 

 the wall i)lates, and using six 2-inch re- 

 turns on each side of the house and four 

 in each of the other return coils. In 

 case the end of the hoiise is much ex- 

 posed, one of the returns on each of the 

 walls might be carried around the end 

 of the house to a point beneath the ])ur- 

 lin and connected with one of the over- 

 head flow pipes. 



For the carnation house, 30x65, we 

 would use three 2"'{.-inf"h flows, placing 

 one upon each ]dato and the other two 

 feet below the ridge, and connecting 

 each of them witli throe 2-inch returns. 



This will sufllco for houses with 2V2 

 feet of glass in the side walls, but we
