TCXD MUCH HEAT. 



I have a ten-section Carmodj boiler 

 heating two houses 25x75, separated by 

 a partition, two feet of glass in one side 

 of each, south end glass, except two 

 and one half feet, shed across north end. 

 I was told when building to put in eight 

 runs of 2-inch pipe and so put eight 

 under each bench, thinking that was the 

 meaning of my instructions. Judging by 

 the answers to queries in the Eeview, I 

 begin to think I have too much pipe, 

 ■even for Nova Scotia. I want 56 to 60 

 degrees in one house and 45 to 50 de- 

 grees in the other. 



I have to shift my boiler, as it is not 

 deep enough. The top is now about 

 eighteen inches above the level of the 

 •coils and the circulation is poor. The 

 main flow and return are 4-inch, branch- 

 ing into 3-inch. In fitting the boiler 

 hubs the maker used 3%-inch couplings 

 in place of 4-inch nipples. I wrote to him 

 ^bout it and he said it would make no 

 appreciable difference so near the boiler. 

 Is the boiler large enough? How deep 

 should it be sett W. C. 



I do not have the rating of a ten-sec- 

 tion Carmody boiler but the manufac- 

 turers will undoubtedly gladly give the 

 radiation the boiler is supposed to carry. 

 In your case a boiler with a capacity 

 for heating at least 1,200 feet of radia- 

 tion should be provided. The house to 

 be run at 56 to 60 degrees should have 

 twelve runs of 2-inch pipe the length of 

 the house and the house to run at 45 to 

 50 degrees should be provided with ten 

 runs of 2-inch pipe. The distribution of 

 the pipes will depend upon the construc- 

 tion of the benches, which is not stated, 

 as well as the direction of the prevail- 

 ing v'inds. If it is possible to lower the 

 boiler so as to bring the top of the 

 boiler eighteen inches to two feet below 

 the radiation pipes, the circulation will 

 be quicker and the heating more satisfac- 

 tory than it will be with less fall. One 

 3-inch riser shftuld be suflBcient to carry 

 the radiation in either of these houses.
