CAST IRON BOILERS WASTE FUEL 



I had a cast iron 8-section boiler before, 

 but was afraid it would crack to pieces. 

 The Kroeschell Boiler is certainly a 

 fuel-saver. My coal bill to heat 5000 sq. 

 ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less 

 than last winter's coal bill, when I had 

 only 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the 

 8-section cast iron boiler. 



Your boiler burns any kind of fuel. I 

 would not have any other boiler than the 

 Kroeschell, and will recommend whenever 

 I get a chance.

Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details 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. 



RADIATION IN EESIDENCE. 



We contemplate heating our resi- 

 dence next winter with hot water, sup- 

 plied by the same boiler that heats 

 our greenhouses. Please describe the 

 best method of figuring the amount 

 of radiation required to heat a dwell- 

 ing house. W. H. — Ind. 



Before attempting to give definite 

 suggestions for the lieating of a resi- 

 dence, one should know the usual mini- 

 mum outside temperatures; the nature 

 of the construction of the dwelling, 

 whether frame, brick or other materials; 

 the amount of exposure, the square feet 

 of glass, the exposed wall surface and 

 the cubic contents of each room, as 

 well as the temperature desired in each 

 room. 



For a well built frame dwelling, with 

 average exposure, we would suggest the 

 following formula for a temperature 

 of 70 degrees, which would be about 

 an average for the living rooms, the 

 bathroom, and perhaps for one sleep- 

 iiig room which may be used in case 

 of sickness, in sections where the tem- 

 perature in the coldest weather runs 

 from zero to 10 or 15 degrees below:

With hot water radiation, use an 

 amount equal to tlie square feet of ex- 

 posed glass, plus one-tenth the area 

 of exposed wall surface, plus one per 

 cent of the cubic contents of each 

 room. 



For a temperature of 60 degrees, 

 which will answer for the average 

 sleeping room, compute the radiation 

 in the same way and then reduce the 

 amount one-third. 



Having determined the amount re- 

 quired under average conditions as 

 above, if the dwelling is a poorly built 

 frame structure, the radiation should be 

 increased ten to twenty-five per cent, 

 while for a substantially built brick
