CLOSING A SYSTEM. 



We have a hot water heating plant, 

 down hill system. The highest point is 

 right above the boiler. Just there we 

 have three 4-inch open pipes reaching 

 five feet above the flows. In firing slowly 

 the returns get warm. When it comes 

 to firing up in a hurry the water boils 

 out of these pipes before the returns 

 have time to get warm. We cannot keep 

 the houses warm enough in zero weather 

 on account of this boiling over. Every 

 time this happens we have to stop fir- 

 ing for half an hour and in the mean- 

 time the temperature goes down. Can 

 we do away with those air pipes and re- 

 place them by an, air cock without run- 

 ning any danger? What would happen if 

 we did? The pipes have a gopd fall all 

 the way down to the boiler. The expan- 

 sion tank, the bottom of which is on the 

 same level as the highest point of the 

 flows, communicates with the bottom of 

 the boiler. We know that the boilef 



might be one size larger, but as our lease 

 expires in a couple of years, we don't 

 feel like going in heavy expenses. 



F. B. C. 



The open pipes can be closed with 

 safety and no opening left more than an 

 ordinary air vent, a pet cock, to draw off 

 any air which might accumulate at this 

 point and interfere with the circula- 

 tion, if an ample expansion tank is pro- 

 vided. This should be connected with 

 the main return near the boiler by a 

 pipe of ample size, 1-inch for a boiler 

 with a capacity suflftcient to heat two 

 houses 20x100 feet. The expansion tank 

 should hold at least fifty gallons, so 

 that there will always be enough water 

 in the tank to return to the system all 

 that can be forced into the tank by the 

 heaviest firing. The closed system will- 

 admit of raising the temperature of the 

 water to a higher point than is possible 

 with an open system. If the piping will 

 stand the increased pressure the tem- 

 perature can be still more increased by 

 elevating the expansion tank. In any 

 case I should place the expansion tank 

 froA six to ten feet above the highest 

 point in the system. L. C C.
