Greenhouse Heating 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 editor of this department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. When information 

 is desired regarding the capacity of boil- 

 ers, or the amount of radiation required 

 for a greenhouse, the needed temperatures 

 should be stated in the inquiry, as well 

 as the amount of glass in the side walls, 

 and the dimensions and general arrange- 

 ment of the greenhouses. It is often 

 helpful, also, to have a sketch showing 

 the location of the houses. 



CHANGING POINT OF FLOW. 



We have added a greenhouse 21x160 

 feet at the south side of our range and 

 the boiler that is to heat the house is 

 located in the service shed at a point 

 fourteen feet north of the north wall of 

 the house to be heated. Could we get 

 equally good results by putting the 

 highest point of the flow lines at the 

 west end of the house instead of plac- 

 ing it at the farther endf 



The house drains to the east eighteen 

 inches in 160 feet, and if the heating 

 capacity of the boiler will not be im- 

 paired by making the high point on the 

 flow at the west end we could run our 

 overhead pipes on purlin line supports, 

 making a much better job and keeping 

 the west end of the pipe well overhead. 



B. G. C— Kan. 



Whenever possible, it is preferable to 

 run the flow pipes downhill or with the 

 highest part as near the boiler as possi- 

 ble. 



If a temperature of 60 degrees is to 

 be maintained, when the outside tem- 

 perature is 10 degrees below zero, in 

 the house 21x160 feet, it is advisable to 

 use three 2%-inch flow pipes and ten or 

 eleven 2-inch return pipes — the latter 

 in case there is glass in the exposed 

 vrall. If a temperature of 50 degrees 

 ■will suffice, it will only be necessary to 

 use seven or eight 2-inch return pipes. 



HEATING TWO HOUSES. 



We have erected two connecting 

 greenhouses 15^^x100 feet and will use 

 a Lord & Burnham soft coal boiler with 

 a fire box 24x38 inches. We are getting 

 3,000 feet of 2-inch, 400 feet of 3-inch 

 and 5-inch pipe for flows and returns. 

 What is the proper way to arrange these 

 pipes in order to secure the best results t
