The Weekly Florists' Review* 





January 26. 1905. 



DRAUGHT OF FLUE. 



I have a house 12x50 heated by a flue 

 running around the house with thirty 

 inches rise. The first twenty-five feet 

 of the flue is brick, the rest 8-inch tile. 

 The chimney is 8-inch tile and sixteen 

 feet high. It draws very poorly. Can 

 you tell me how to improve it? 



T. r. 



I see no reason for laxjk of draught in 

 your flue. It is to be remembered, how- 

 ever, that 120 feet or more is a long 

 chimney and that naturally the draught 

 will be slow. If the same flue stood on 

 end the draught would be much better. 

 It may be that there are trees or build- 

 ings near by which cut off the draught 

 on the upright portion of your chimney, 

 if so it will be necessary to increase the 

 height of the upright portion. The kind 

 of fuel used will also influence the 

 draught. It takes a larger flue and a 

 stronger draught for wood or soft coal 

 than for hard coal. The grate area may 

 also be too large for the flue, in, which 

 ease the draught will be bad. As the con- 

 ditions and measurements are not stated 

 more definite information 'cannot be 

 given. L. C. C. 



HEATING. 



Will a Weathered No. 6 boiler heat a 

 greenhouse 20x50 and one 18x50 to 56 

 degrees when it is 15 degrees below zero 

 outside? What size of flow pipes and 

 what number of 2-ineh returns will be 

 requiredt There is a high, solid bed on 

 the east side and another low one in the 

 center with a bench on the west side; 

 shed at the north end and door at the 

 Bouth. H. W. M. 



If you provide a 2-inch riser and five 

 2-inch returns for each of the two coils, 

 one on the wall over the solid bench on 

 the high side and one under the bench 

 on the low side, you will get sufficient 

 radiation to maintain the temperature 

 mentioned, provided the boiler is capable 

 of maintaining the water at 180 degrees. 

 The dimensions of the two houses are so 

 near alike that the same amount of 

 piping will be satisfactory in either.
