HEATING. 



I have two houses, the one 17x48, the 

 other 17x60, with side walls four feet 

 bigh, double boarded and with building 

 paper between. The houses are piped 

 with four 1-inch pipes under each side 

 bench. Can I use the present coils as 

 feeders and put in iVj-inch pipes for re- 

 turns to the boiler for use with hot 

 ■water? How many such returns will 

 it take to keep the houses at 60 degrees? 

 "Would one 2-inch pipe from the boiler 

 be large enough for a feed pipe? The 

 boiler is at the high end of the pres- 

 •ent 1-inch coils. I have a heater five 

 feet long, shell three feet wide with 

 fifty-two 2-inch flues. Would this heat 

 these houses? w. E, T 



The four 1-inch pipes are not sufficient 

 to maintain the desired temperature. 

 The system can, however, be easily modi- 

 fied to meet the requirements. Run a 

 2-inch flow pipe under the ridge of 

 -each house from the boiler to the most 

 ^stant end of the house and in the house 

 17x48, returning under the benches in 

 fifteen runs of 1-inch pipe or twelve 

 runs of 114-ineh pipe, if steam is used, 

 or eleven 2-inch pipes if hot water is 

 used. The house 17x60, in addition to 

 the 2-inch riser under the ridge, will 

 also require fifteen runs of 1-inch pipe 

 or twelve runs of li^-inch pipe with 

 «team or eleven 2-inch pipes if hot water 

 IS used. The returns from each house, 

 If steam is used, can be concentrated 

 iJito one 114 -inch pipe and returned to 

 the boiler A pipe of this size would, 

 m fact, be ample to care for the con- 

 densation for the whole system but for 

 <:onvenience the 1^-inch pipe can be 

 used for each house. With hot water a 

 2-inch or 2y2-inch return should be pro- 

 Tided for each house. A 2-inch flow is 

 amply large for houses of these dimen- 

 sions on a steam system, but with hot 

 ^ater 2 y^ -inch flows will be more satis- 

 factory. The 1-inch or 1 14 -inch pipe 

 18 specified for returns in the heating 

 coils for steam because tliese sizes are 

 more easily handled and installed than 

 are the larger sizes. With hot water 

 towever no returns should be smaller 

 than 114 -inch and 2-inch is better The 

 friction in the small pipes retards the 

 How too much. L C C
