CARAQTY OF BOILER. 



I have a No. 16 Hitchings corrugated 

 fire box boiler heating a dwelling with 

 250 feet of radiation and a lean-to green- 

 house 9x28 in which there are three lines 

 of l^^-inch pipe. The flow pipes are 

 covered from the boiler to the coils. How 

 much more glass will this boiler carry 

 safely to 60 degrees? W. F. S. 



The No. 16 Hitchings boiler is rated 

 to carry 1,000 feet of 4-inch pipe, 

 which is equivalent to 1,100 feet of ra- 

 diation. If voir now have 250 feet of ra- 

 diation in your house and 120 feet in 

 the greenhouse 9x28, which is about 

 what it requires, your boiler is now 

 carrying 370 feet and its capacity is 

 about 1,100 feet. In other words, yon 

 have a working capacity of about 700 

 feet of radiation not now in use. This 

 will heat a greenhouse with about 3,000 

 feet of wall and roof space exposed. A 

 house eighteen feet wide and seventv 

 feet long, with side walls four feet high 

 would approximate this exposure.
