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, 



A CIX)SED SYSTEM. 



I note in The Review for July 3 a 

 reference to a closed system of green- 

 house heating, using hot water under 

 pressure. Will you please tell me how 

 this can be done with a regular hot 

 water system? E. L. 



The system is "closed" with a mer- 

 cury seal, sometimes advertised in The 

 Review as a "regulator" and some- 

 times as a "generator." The effect is 

 to seal the outlet to the expansion tank, 

 so that the water must become hotter 

 than otherwise would be the case to 

 push aside the seal and escape to the 

 tank. The device keeps the water un- 

 der a pressure greater than the atmos- 

 pheric pressure and increases the heat- 

 ing capacity of the boiler by permitting 

 the water to be heated to a consider- 

 ably higher temperature than would be 

 possible under atmospheric pressure. 

 The regulator or generator can be used 

 in connection with any boiler, but the 

 manufacturer should be consulted as to 

 whether or not the boiler was designed 

 to stand the additional strain the system 

 puts on it. P- R-

BOILEB INSPECTION. 



We have two boilers, one a thirty 

 horse-power marine, and one a forty 

 horse-power tubular. Up to the present 

 time we have carried no boiler insur- 

 ance. There have been several agents 

 here within the last two months, all 

 of whom have stated that we are com- 

 pelled by law to have our boilers in- 

 spected or be liable to fine, the only 



or 



alternative being insurance in their re- 

 spective companies, in which case ** 

 would be immune from inspection 

 fines. Personally we fail to see the a"*' 

 vantage of carrying such insurance, ^ 

 each policy we have seen states define* 

 ly that we can recover damages ori\7 ]^ 

 case of explosion of any part of *^ 

 boiler caused by pressure. Our ^y^^%
