sectional boiler, the dimensions of 

 whieh are as follows: Length, fifty- 

 five inches; height, fifty-six inches; 

 width, forty-three inches; fire-pot, 31x 

 32 inches. The top of the boiler is 

 even with the greenhouse floor, and 

 the return pipes drop two and one-half 

 or three feet from the floor to the 

 boiler. Please tell me whether the 

 boiler and pipes are large enough and 

 whether the pipes are connected right, 

 as I cannot get enough heat in the 

 greenhouses to keep the plants from 

 freezing, when we have our coldest 

 South Dakota weather. A. D. 



So far as one can judge from the 

 description given, the radiation is suf- 

 ficient for 60 degrees in the old house 

 and for 55 degrees in the new one, 

 and the boiler is sufficiently large for 

 the radiation. In fact, there is a sur- 

 plus of fully fifty per cent in the 

 boiler capacity. It is stated that the 

 feed pipes have a fall of fifteen feet 

 one inch. While this may mean that 

 there is a difference of fifteen feet one 

 inch between the highest part of the 

 flow pipe and the return, I am of the 

 opinion that what it was intended to 

 say was that the flow pipes have a 

 fall of one inch in fifteen feet. 



I am not able, from the description, 

 to locate the trouble. I would sug- 

 gest, however, that in the new house 

 either one 2i/^-inch main return or 

 two 2-inch pipes be used instead of one 

 2-inch return. The letter does not 

 state where the flow pipes are carried 

 in the old house. If they are on the 

 wall plates and the return pipes are 

 located on the walls directly under 

 the flows, or well up on the legs of the 

 benches, I would expect a temperature 

 of 60 degrees without a generator, and 

 an extra 10 degrees when the genera- 

 tor is working. Unless a generator is 

 used, I would run the returns as well 

 as the flow pipes as high as possible 

 and connect the expansion tank with 

 the highest part of the system, run- 

 ning the pipes downhill.
