Writ* ■• HOW. 



the returns under the middle benches, 

 and this is often desirable. 



Just how large the flow pipes should 

 be will depend upon the length of the 

 houses and the number and size of the 

 returns, as well as the height of the 

 system above the boiler. As a rule, we 

 wovdd not use 2-inch flows in houses 

 over fifty feet in length and where they 

 must supply more than two 2-inch re- 

 turns; 21^ -inch flows may be used up 

 to 200 feet in length and for two 2-inch 

 returns of that length (three runs 

 might be used if five feet above the 

 boiler). For longer houses we would 

 use 3-inch fiow pipes, and they may be 

 used in houses above 150 feet to good 

 advantage, especially in the wider 

 houses. 



While it will really make but little 

 difference if the returns are well above 

 the boiler, the best results are obtained 

 when the highest point in the system is 

 near the boiler and the flow pipes, so 

 called, run downhill. When the pipes 

 run uphill and the highest point is at 

 the farther end of the house, the water 

 in the flow pipe will cool slightly and, 

 as already explained, will act as a 

 "drag" upon the circulation, while in 

 a downhill system it will tend to 

 "boost" and hasten the circulation. 

 With a downhill system, also, the ex- 

 pansion tank may be connected with 

 the highest point and thus the use of 

 air valves may be avoided. 



To heat a house 18x50 feet, with 

 6-foot side walls, to 60 degrees in zero 

 weather, we would use one 2% -inch flow 

 upon each plate and a third two or 

 three feet below the ridge. If there is 

 no glass in the side walls, we would use 

 nine 2-inch returns, in three coils. We 

 would use an additional return for each 

 two feet of glass. Thus, if there is 

 three feet of glass in each wall, we 

 would use three additional returns. 



In the case of outdoor temperatures 

 as low as 30 degrees below zero, which 

 would not come often or stay long, it 

 would be possible to maintain the 60- 

 degree temperature with the radiation 

 specified, by heavier and more frequent 

 firing, or three more returns might be 

 installed. Another plan in such ex- 

 tremes of weather would be to connect 

 a mercury generator or other con- 

 trivance, for placing the water under 

 pressure. These serve an excellent pur- 

 pose in such cases, as well as when the 

 returns are below the top of the boiler, 

 as thej not only make it possible to 

 carry the water at a higher tempera- 

 ture, but they improve a sluggish cir- 

 culation. Bv carrying the water under 

 pressure it is often possible to make a 

 considerable reduction in the amount of 

 radiation required in a system, and 

 2-inch flows and 1%-inch returns may 

 be substituted for 2i^-inch flows and 

 2-inch returns used with open-tank sys- 

 tems. In case, however, the water is 

 only carried under pressure in extremely 

 cola weather, the larger sizes of pipe 

 should b« used.
