The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Deceubbb 15, 1904. 



HEATING. 



I have recently bought a plant which 

 is badly run down. The boiler was made 

 to heat 4,700 feet of glass, but no 

 maker's name is on it. I desire to know 

 if a boiler with a fire box twenty-four 

 inches square will keep up sufficient heat 

 on a night 10 or 15 degrees below zero 

 in 1,200 feet of 4-inch pipe, down hill 

 system? The boiler has ten flues six 

 feet long and good draught; will burn 

 anything, but am using semi-anthracite 

 slack, firing thin, but cannot seem to get 

 over 115 or 120 degrees in water with 

 overflow in the center of the run, and by 

 the time it reaches the farthest point in 

 circulation it seems to be not over 100 

 degrees. I have tried light and heavy 

 firing, but cannot seem to get water above 

 115 degrees at the point mentioned. Is 

 the. fault with the fuel, firing, circula- 

 tion or where? The circulation is slow, 

 but seems all right. F. M. 



It is impossible from the data given to 

 more than guess at the reason for the 

 low temperature in the system. While 

 the size of the flues in the boiler is not 

 stated, I judge them to be 3 inches. If 

 so the heating surface in the boiler is 

 probably too small. The fire box is 

 capable of supplying heat to 320 square 

 feet of heating surface in the boiler 

 when soft coal is used. With ten flues 

 six feet long it is probable that not more 

 than one-half this amount of heating sur- 

 face is provided in the boiler. A good 

 boiler with 175 or 200 feet of heating 

 surface should be ample, with proper 

 fuel, to provide 180 degrees in the risers. 

 If a full description of the boiler can 

 be provided, stating general design, ma- 

 terial used, size, number and length of 

 flues and whether the boiler is return 

 tubular or direct draught of the locomo- 

 tive type, it will be possible to give a 

 more exact and satisfactory ansvver. 

 Without this data a conjecture as above 

 stated is all that is possible. L. C. C.
