FOB FOUE THOUSAND FEET. 



I am building two connected green- 

 houses, each 21 x 75. The houses run 

 east and west, with the boiler house 

 at the west end. The exposed sides of 

 the hoBses are six feet high, Tvith three 

 feet of glass on a concrete wall below. 

 The east ends are exposed. I will grow 

 carnations in the north house, and will 

 use the south house for miscellaneous 

 pot plants. The boiler pit is six feet 

 below the level of the ground and the 

 ground slopes one foot to seventy-five 

 feet toward the west, I will have two 

 5-foot benches in the middle and two 

 3-foot benches on the side in each house. 

 Please tell me how much piping is 

 needed, in Iowa climate, and the proper 

 way to put it in . The boiler is a tubu- 

 lar hot water boiler, nine feet long, 

 fifty-two inches high and forty-two 

 inches wide. I have some 4-inch and 

 some 2-inch pipe on hand. O. C.

For the carnation house one 4-inch 

 flow and twelve 2-inch returns would 

 be sufficient to maintain a temperature 

 of 50 to 55 degrees, but it would be 

 better to substitute two 2 1^ -inch flow 

 pipes for the single 4-inch flow, though 

 the latter is, of course, large enough 

 to supply the returns. In the plant 

 house use three 2VL>-inch flow pipes and 

 fourteen 2-inch returns. If the 4-inch 

 'main is to be used, sixteen returns 

 would be needed. The above radiation 

 is considerably more than will be needed 

 except when the thermometer is lower 

 than 15 degrees below zero, with high 

 wiud«. Arrange valves to cut out the 

 surplus radiation when not needed.

FOR TEN THOUSAND FEET, 



I have built two connected green- 

 houses each 28 x 150 feet, running east 

 and west, on a slope toward the south. 

 The north wall will be six feet high, of 

 concrete blocks. The south wall will 

 have three feet of concrete and thirty 

 inches of glass. The dividing wall will 

 be of wood and an iron gutter will be 

 used. The elevation from the south wall 

 of the lower house to the north wall of 

 the upper house is sixteen feet in fifty- 

 six feet. The lower house will have 

 solid beds and the upper house raised 

 benches. Both gables will have glass. 

 The houses will be heated by a boiler 

 rated to heat 11,500 square feet. Hot 

 water will be used. The boiler shed will 

 be located on the southwest corner. The 

 maximum tempetature required will be 

 60 degrees in zero weather for both 

 houses and we would like to know the 

 best wa^ to pijie the houses to obtain 

 the desired temperature, also the num- 

 ber of flows and returns. Soft coal will 

 be used. H. O. 



To heat the houses described to 60 

 degrees it will be well to use three 3- 

 inch pipes in the lower house, as flows, 

 with fifteen 2-inch return pipes. One 

 flow can be under the ridge and the 

 others on the walls. Five or six of 

 the returns can be on each of the walls, 

 with the others along the sides of the 

 beds or on the posts. 



In the upper house use five 2%-inch 

 flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns. 

 Place a flow pipe on each w-all and 

 the others along the roof or on posts, 

 according to the construction of the 



A GRECNHOUSE BOILER THAT 

 FAIRLY SHOT NITO FAME 



. Here ia the boiler that Is making the most wonderful greenhoiLse healing 

 record In th? world. Florists and gardeners who have used other makes are 

 constantly giving the Kroeschell GreenhooMe Botlrr the highest praise. 



QUICKEST WATER HEATER IN THE WORLD 



The large combustion chamber In the Kroe«icheiI Boll«r pnables the gases to 



expand and fully Ignite before reaching the tubes or flues. This feature is 



entirely lacking in flrebox boilers and cast iron sectional boilers. 



Unlitte Cast Iron Boilers, which cannot be depended upon to carry tbeir 

 ratings even when crowded with hard coal, "the Kro««cbeir' again excels 

 because — every Kroe^chi^U Boiler is honestiy rated and guaranteed to carry 

 the glass and pipe capacities stated in our catalogue to 60 degree* at 15 

 below zero. Any kind of fuel can be used. Our ratiags are easily main- 

 tained with the cheapest grades of coal. 



OVKJ^ 1500 CAST IKON BOILERS were replaced by the Kroeschell Hoi, Water B«»Uer 

 diving the imst itix yejdtta. It Is a common ^ecinrence for a Kroettchell Hot Water Boiler 

 to remlMse two to four xtutt iron bolters at a single place; this Is the CKNTRAL. HEATINO

Snclosed please And another order for 

 No. 9 Kroeschell Boiler. This boiler is 

 for a new office building. In reference 

 to the two No. 3 boilers which you fur- 

 nished for three buildings last year, will 

 say that we are getting excellent results. 

 The No. IS Is doing duty in a six-story 

 building with 208 radiators and the 

 owner is so well pleased with it that he 

 has ordered a . &io. 10 KroBschell far &&• 

 other building which he Is erecting, also 

 ordered another No. 11 Kroeschell.

Having promised you a letter as soon 

 as we have passed through a good fair 

 test, I consider it now most timely. We 

 had the thermometer 18 degrees below 

 and we've just gone through a bliz;(ard 

 bad enough for most any season, and am 

 very well pleased to inform you that 

 our heating system was equal to tne 

 occasion. So far as we have gone, am 

 certainly well satisfied with the Kroe-

 System. J. E. MATTHEWSON.

I had a flue boiler before I got the 

 Kroeschell, which could hardly heat the 

 glass, although it used more fuel than 

 yours. I also have your Generator, which 

 is giving good satisfaction. I think a 

 Generator would pay for Itself in a few 

 weeks.

It only takes 30 minutes from firing to 

 drive the water entirely through my sy.«-

 firing is necessary, I make 180 degrees \n

Krooacholl Roplacaa 2 Caat Iron Boilora 



The Marys.ville Floral Co., of Marysvllle, C, installed a No. 4 Kroeschell 

 Boiler in 1905. Previous to this time they used cast iron boilers. The 

 following letter speaks for itself: 



"Has the Kroeschell given entire satisfaction? Yes! We bad two cast 

 Iron boilers, but yoars proved by far the best. Your boiler has already 

 outlasted the two cast Iron boilers by Ave years, and all the expense that 

 we have been put to was a smoke dome."
