RETURNING CONDENSATION. 



We have four hooaes, 32x157, at- 

 tached, with solid beds, steam pipes 

 l-ineh and 1%-inch on the side walls. 

 Then at right angles and overlapping 

 one end are three houses 20x111. At 

 a little distance is another house and 

 still further on two more detached 

 houses of the same dimensions, and on 

 a line with the rest. The boiler shed 

 is in the right angle where the two 

 ranges overlap. The boiler is under- 

 ground but I want to raise it to the 

 ground level and add another to it. At 

 present the water is trapped back but it 

 does not return satisfactorily from the 

 farthest houses, although there are six 

 feet drop in 300 feet. The flow is 

 2%-inch and the return 1%-inch, with 

 pet cocks on all pipes. What is the mat- 

 ter with the return! How would you 

 locate the boilers? S. J. P. 



The present location for the boilers is 

 probably as good as any. Wherever pos- 

 sible to place boilers low enough below 

 returns to secure the return of the water 

 by gravity, the working of the system 

 will be more satisfactory. If the boilers 

 must be placed above ground, the con- 

 densation can be drawn from the pipes 

 into a hot well and returned to the boil- 

 ers by means of a small steam pump 

 driven by a small boiler carrying fifty 

 or sixty pounds pressure. The exhaust 

 steam from this pump can be utilized for 

 heating a small house or potting shed 

 and the condensed water allowed to 

 waste, as it would not be permissible to 

 discharge it into the general heating 

 system on account of the oil from the 

 pump. If a pump is undesirable, the 

 water can be returned to the boilers by 

 means of traps, but they are more or 

 less unreliable. The failure of the water 

 to return from the detached houses is 

 due, partially at.least, to the friction of 

 steam and water in the long lines of 

 pipe. Increase the size of the pipes, 

 grading the pipes carefully to avoid 

 pockets, also avoid the use of check 

 valves, and the water will return more 

 freely. L. C. C.
