The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 27, 1905. 



INCREASED RADIATION. 



We have four greenhouses, 14x50 

 feet, heated by hot water; fourteen 

 feet to the ridge, two feet of glass on 

 the east side wall, ends of the houses 

 also of glass. Our boiler is fourteen feet 

 long by thirty inches wide. It is a fire-box 

 boiler without return flues. There is 

 a 4-inch flow pipe feeding two lines of 

 4-inch pipe in each house; that is four 

 returns leading in one 4-inch pipe. The 

 fall is twelve inches and then we have 

 a line of 3%-inch pipe running all 

 around the inside wall of the houses 

 and entering in the same return. In 

 the very cold weather, when the tem- 

 perature is 15 below zero in Wisconsin, 

 it is diflScult to keep the houses up to 

 50 degrees. What I want to know is 

 would it be advisable to have one more 

 4-inch flow on the other end of the 

 boiler and an independent return? 

 Would that give mo more heating 

 capacity? T. W. & S. 



If your boiler is already tapped for 

 a 4-inch flow this is sufficient for the 

 capacity of the boiler and should sup- 

 ply heat for about 1,500 lineal feet of 

 4-inch pipe. If you are not now get- 

 ting sufficient heat in your houses it is 

 because of a lack of sufficient radiat- 

 ing surface in the houses. To main- 

 tain a temperature of 60 degrees dur- 

 ing severe weather each of your 

 houses should have six runs of 4-inch 

 pipe the length of the house, or its 

 equivalent, and to carry 50 degrees 

 there should be five runs of 4-inch pipe. 

 If I understand the arrangement of 

 your piping you lack considerable, and 

 in order to make the plant safe the 

 area should be brought up .to the 

 amount specified. It will not be an 

 advantage to tap the boiler again or to 

 run an independent flow or return if 

 those already in use are 4-inch. Make 

 those you already have do more work 

 by adding more radiation in the houses 

 where you need it. L. C. C. 



OSHKOSH, Wis. — The Isaac Miles es- 

 tate has equipped its boiler plant with 

 the Martin rocking grate which is large- 

 ly used by the big growers around Chi- 

 cago. 



Sherman, Tex. — H. O. Hannah has 

 taken his son, Fred, into the firm. Han- 

 nah & Son have just put up a new house 

 22x100. A recent hail storm broke 1,400 

 square feet of their glass. Stock is in 

 fine condition.
