CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



What is the heating ability of a boiler 

 ten feet long and three feet in diam- 

 ter, with thirty-two 3-inch tubes? With 

 4-inch cast-iron pipe how many houses 

 15x50 and ten feet to the ridge can it 

 heat to 60 degrees when it is TO degrees 

 below zero? Which is the better system 

 for hot water, up-hill or downt C. S. 



Your boiler has a capacity that will al- 

 low you to place about 586 square feet of 

 radiation upon it. If the piping is well 

 arranged and the boiler is forced a little 

 during cold weather it should heat two 

 houses 15x50 and ten feet high piped 

 with 4-inch cast-iron pipe. This will al- 

 low 250 feet of 4-inch pipe to each house, 

 which would be equivalent to five runs 

 of pipe in each house. 



In regard to the slope of the pipes, 

 there is a diversity of opinion. Some 

 prefer an up-hill while others a down- 

 hSU system. My personal preference 

 has always been for the up-hill plan, as 

 the water can be heated to a somewhat 

 higher temperature under this plan than 

 when the down-hill system is used.
