the main return. If tlio boiler is of ample 

 size, with a grate twenty-six inches in 

 diiinietor, it would he possible by heavy 

 firing in the coldest weather to maintain 

 the temperature desired, if a ]ium]) is in- 

 stalled, as this would elfectually cor- 

 rect the first and third difliculties men- 

 tioned above and provide a rapid circu- 

 lation. Even then Ihe radiating surface 

 will be deticient and it would be widl to 

 put in four more I'/ii-inch return ])ipes. 



HEATING ONE HOUSE. 



My greenliouse is 14%x48 feet. The 

 walls are seven feet high, with four feet 

 of glass. The height of the ridge is 

 twelve feet. I should lik(> to know 

 what heating arrangement would be 

 best for this greenhouse, u.sing hot 

 water. I should like to heat this build- 

 ing to 60 degrees when the temperature 

 outside goes as low as 25 degrees below 

 zero. J. V. B. — Mont. 



In the house referred to above there is 

 a 30-incli liench along each side wall 

 and another fifty iiudies wide in the cen- 

 ter of the house. 



Three 2y,i\u'h tlow pii)es and twelve 

 2-inch returns will be required. Eun 

 one flow downhill on each side wall 

 plate, and the other three feet below 

 the ridge. Place four returns under 

 each side bench and the others under 

 the middle liemdi. 



The width chosen for the house is 

 wasteful, both in construction and heat- 

 ing and in the bench sjiace secured. If 

 the house were made twenty feet wide, 

 the walks would take up no more room 

 and about fifty per cent more bench 

 room would be secured. The construc- 

 tion of the walls would be practically 

 the same, while the cost of the 2()-foot 

 house would not be over twenty per 

 cent more than that of the 14%-foot 

 house. Only four additional returns 

 would be required for radiating surface. 

 The increased cost of fuel for the house 

 would be in about the same proportion.

Question and Answer 



How can we prevent accumulations of slag and clinkers on the fite 

 brick of our hand- fired furnace along the sides of the grate? 



— G. N. H. in "Power." 



Vou can't with ordinary fire brick, but if you use 



FURNACE LINING 



in your furnaces, you will have a smooth, jointless lining to which clinkersiwill 

 not adhere. And you will have a liaing without air and gas leaks, resistant to 

 heat up to 3100° F., and that will last from two to four times as long as the 

 best laid-up fire brick. 



Our book, D-66. on "Modern Furnace Building." will 4 ive you full information, or our 

 nearest representative Will call. Our service is given freely and gladly.
