WHAT THE USERS SAY 



Use Soft Coal — The Kroescheil Works Like a Charm 



The No. 2 Kroeechell boiler has been in operation for some time. We are using soft or 

 bituminous coal, and it works like a charm. We are very much pleased with it indeed. 



J. T. LOVETI, Little Silver, N J. 



Used a Sectional — Prefers KroescheD 



Have no trouble to keep up temperatures in my houses with the No. 10 Kroescheil boiler. 

 The boiler has given entire satisfaction. We had a cast iron sectional boiler- I wouldn't 

 have one for a gift any more. LOUIS OTTO, Neenah, Wis.

By simply turning the rod or handle, 

 the ends contract until it will readily 

 pass into the flue. Then by turning the 

 handle in an opposite direction the cleaner 

 is gradually expanded until it fits the tube 

 perfectly ; the brush following leares the 

 tube absolutely clean.

degrees when the outside temperature 

 is 15 to 20 degrees below zero, I would 

 use three 2^-inch flow pipes and nine 

 2-inch returns. Or, if the present 3- 

 inch main is to be used, I would put in 

 eleven 2-inch returns. In case the 

 solid beds are retained, the returns 

 may be partly on the walls and the 

 others on the sides of the beds. 



OBSTRUCTED CIECULATION. 



I am taking the liberty of asking 

 you what is wrong with my heating 

 system. The boiler is sixteen feet 

 long and contains fifty-six 3-inch 

 flues. It is located in a basement ad- 

 joining the greenhouses on the north. 

 The steam is returned to the boiler by 

 means of two No. 12 Detroit return 

 traps, with a receiver. The return 

 from the greenhouses is 4-inch, re- 

 duced to 2V^-inch where it enters the 

 trap receiver. The main is 4-inch, 

 with a pressure-reducing valve on it. 

 We are carrying about thirty pounds 

 of steam on the boiler and ten pounds 

 of steam on the houses. 



I have five houses, all of which have 

 7-foot side walls. They are of the 

 connected type and therefore only two 

 of the side walls containing glass are 

 exposed, and they are on the 150-foot 

 houses. Four of the houses, Nos. 1,

 and 5 are each 29x150; Nos. 2 and 3 

 are each 29x75. No. 4, which crosses 

 the west ends of the other houses, is 

 21x113, with a 7-foot board wall and 

 with no glass, and is made as warm 

 as possible, as our cold Dakota winds 

 come from the west and this house 

 tends to protect the other houses from 

 the winds. 



The trouble I am having is to heat

Pure, warm sunlisbt is Nature's way—'

The Morehrad System picks up every drop
