 lieight of the stack. 



The temperature desired in the houses 

 is not stated, but, if a temperature of 

 CO degrees is desired for 9,200 square 

 feet of glass, we should use 3,100 square 

 feet of radiation in a temperature of 

 10 degrees below zero. 



Even though all of the feed i)ipes 

 listed will furnish radiation, there 

 would be only 2,700 square feet of radi- 

 ation in the houses. It is possible, too, 

 that some of the feed pipes are carry- 

 ing too much radiation. The amount 

 should not exceed 150 to 200 square 

 feet for 2-inch mains, 300 to 350 for 

 2Vl>-inch, and 600 to 800 square feet for 

 3-ineh pipe. In all oases the surface of 

 the feed pipes should be counted as a 

 part of the radiation. 



INSTALLING A BOILER. 



I should like to get some information 

 concerning the heating of a greenhouse 

 I am planning to build. This house will 

 be 30x80 feet, the width in reality being 

 divided into two houses, although there 

 will be no partition; so there will be 

 two ridges and three gutters. We want 

 the pipes to go under the benches. The 

 house will run north and south. "We 

 have some lV4-iuch pipe on hand. Will 

 this do for returns'? What size of pipe 

 will do for flows? We have some 2%- 

 inch pipe on hand also. Please advise 

 us as to how we can run the pipes to 

 get the most satisfactory results. 

 WHiat amount of radiation and what 

 size of boiler will be required? 



W. G.B.— O. 



It will require about 1,200 square 

 feet of radiation for the houses de- 

 scribed, and it would be advisable to 

 select a heater rated for about 1,500 

 square feet of radiation if hard coal is
