in the 19-foot house and with ten returns 

 in the 25-foot house. 



If the pipes are properly graded, there 

 is no reason why the circulation should 

 not be all that is desired of it. "With 

 a fair grade of soft coal and good firing, 

 there should be no trouble in securing 

 50 degrees in zero weather, even with 

 the present radiation. 



BUYING SECOND-HAND BOILER. 



We should like your advice in regard 

 to a Scotch marine boiler, which we can 

 buy cheap. This boiler is twelve feet 

 long, sixty inches in diameter, and has 

 forty-eight 3-inch flues, ten feet long. 

 The boiler is to be used for hot water 

 heating. There are five 2%-inch open- 

 ings. Will these openings be large 

 enough for hot water use? Can you tell 

 us how many feet of 2-inch pipe this 

 boiler can handle with either steam or 

 hot water? S. F. C— Mo. 



The boiler described is probably rated 

 at about forty horsepower and, with a 

 grate and smokestack of the proper 

 dimensions, it would readily handle 

 about 2,000 square feet of low-pressure 

 steam radiation and about 4,000 square 

 feet of hot water radiation. 



The openings will be large enough for 

 steam heating, but four 4-inch main 

 flows and the same number of 4-inch 

 returns are needed for the best results 

 with hot water. It is desirable to have 

 the boiler openings of the full size of 

 the mains, but fairly good results may 

 be secured with the mains if reduced to 

 3-inch at the boiler. 



The boiler should be able to supply 

 6,400 linear feet of 2-inch pipe for hot 

 water radiation, or 3,200 linear feet in 

 steam coils. However, it would be pref- 

 erable to use IVt-inch pipe for steam 

 coils and the boiler would then handle 

 4,600 linear feet. This would be suflB- 

 cient for 12,000 to 16,000 square feet of 

 glass, according to the temperature de- 

 sired in the houses.
