The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Fbbbdabt 23, 1905. 



PIPING. 



I have two houses forty feet long, at- 

 tached, without partition wall, both 

 ridges seven feet high and board side 

 walls four feet high. One house is ten 

 and" one-half feet wide, the other twelve 

 and one-half feet. Along the end is a 

 shed 10x30 feet •v^Jiich continues into 

 another greenhouse 10x30, eight feet to 

 ridge and side walls eight feet high. 

 I want to heat with 2-inch flows under 

 the ridges and 1^-inch returns. How 

 many pipes will it take with the weather 

 conditions of New Jersey? G. W. H. 



The two attached houses, if heated bv 

 hot water at 180 degrees, with a 2-inch 

 flow pipe under each ridge will require 

 twenty 134-iQch pipes arranged in coils 

 under the benches of the houses. If 

 steam at flve pounds pressure is used 

 and a 2-inch riser placed under each 

 ridge, fifteen 1^4 -inch pipes will be 

 necessary under the benches. The side 

 house 10x30 will require a 2-inch riser 

 and eleven 114-inch returns if water is 

 used and a 2-inch riser and nine returns 

 if steam is used. L. C. C. 



PIPING AND BOILER. 



I have a greenhouse 16x32 feet, ten 

 feet to the ridge, side walls and gables 

 wood. I should like to heat this with 

 a Wilks hot water boiler 20x30 and re- 

 quire 60 degrees in zero weather. The 

 boiler has openings for 2-inch pipes. 

 How many flows and how many returns 

 will it take? Will this boiler be large 

 enough for two such houses? It is 

 rated at 250 to 300 feet of radiation. 



J. K. 



Each of the houses 16x32 feet should 

 have ten runs of 2-inch pipes, i. e., 320 

 feet of 2-inch pipe, properly arranged 

 to provide heat during severe weather. 

 If the piping is to be placed on the side 

 walls or under the side benches it would 

 be a good plan to run a 2-inch riser or 

 flow pipe from the boiler to the far 

 end of the house under each side bench 

 and there divide it to return in four 

 2-inch returns. This will provide a coil 

 of five pipes under each of the side 

 benches, or ten .pipes in all. Two houses 

 this size will require a boiler capable 

 of providing heat for 450 to 500 feet 

 of radiation. A boiler with 250 to 300 

 feet would be sufficient for one of the 

 houses and during mild weather should 

 carry both. L. C. C.
