HOT WATER OR STEAM. 



We have three attached houses, the 

 north one 20x102, the middle one 18x102 

 and the south one 10x102. The north 

 wall is four feet high and tight; the 

 •south wall has two feet of glass. The 

 gables are glass. We want 58 degrees in 

 the north house and 70 degrees in the 

 middle one. We have used a flue but 

 shall change to either steam or hot 

 water. The boiler we have in mind has 

 ■nine sections, with a fire box 24x54 inch- 

 es and rated for 2,400 feet of radiation. 

 Will this do and how shall we pipe for 

 10 degrees below zero? S. P. C. 



If you wish to heat the plant with 

 ■steam it will require a boiler with a 

 ■minimum rating to carry 1,500 feet of 

 radiation. If hot water is to be used the 

 •capacity of the boiler should be suffi- 

 •cient to carry at least 2,000 feet of 

 radiation. In either case the boiler speci- 

 ■fied- should be ample for your present 

 plant. If steam is used lV4-inch pipe 

 •can be used for all returns and 2-inch for 

 all flow pipes in the houses and if each 

 flow is carried direct from the boiler 2- 

 inch will be sufficient for .the whole 

 length. If hot water is used the returns 

 ■should be IY2 or 2-inch pipe and the 

 flows 2 14 -inch in each of the larger 

 liouses and 2-inch in the small one. For 

 flteam the house 20x102 should have ten 

 IVi-inch returns, but for hot water it 

 should have eleven returns of 2-inch pipe 

 OT fourteen 1%-inch. The house 18x102 

 should have ten l>4-inch returns but for 

 hot water it should have eleven 1%-inch 

 ■or nine 2-inch returns. The house 10x102 

 takes six IVi-inch returns for steam or 

 with hot water either six l^^-inch pipes 

 or five 2-inch return pipes. L. C. C.

 ming now has two separate establish-
