When 



Steaii) or Hoi Waiei 



Whether it is in a greenhouse or any other place^ there are a number of things to be taken 

 into consideration which are too often overlooked until one finds that the coal bill is too large, 

 and that he has to stay up a great deal of the night or put someone on to fire the boiler. I can 

 furnish and install anything in the line of Heating Apparatus, and if you favor me with any 

 work or an order for material, I can assure you prompt and satisfactory service. You will 

 do yourself a favor by consulting me on this subject. It will not cost you anything and I 

 should like to be given a chance to figure with you on anything you may need.

WITH A COIL BOILER. 



I an building three connected houses, 

 one 14x52, ten feet to ridge, one foot 

 glass in one side and glass in gable; one 

 house 15x30, glass in both gables, and 

 one bouse 10x30. I want to heat the 

 bouses 14x52 and 10x30 to 52 to 55 de- 

 grees and the other one to 60 degrees 

 when the outside temperature is as low 

 as 30 degrees below zero. I am building 

 a coil boDer, which contains 100 lineal 

 feet of 1%-inch pipe, besides the mani- 

 folds and bas a grate surface of 

 six square feet. Will this be large 

 enough! "Will a smoke-stack eight 

 inches in diameter and twenty feet high 

 b« aU right t In making up the coils 

 in the greenhouse is there any objection 

 to nsing teee and nipples f I shall use 

 2-inch pipe for flows and 1^-inch for re- 

 tmms. C. L. W. 



To seewre the heat desired in your va- 

 rioas booses they will require the follow- 

 ing piping: The house 14x52 should carry 

 on© 2-ineb riser, or flow, returning by 

 nins 1^-incb returns. The house 10x30 

 should have one 2-inch flow returned by 

 seren l^if^-inch returns, and the house 

 ISxSO win require one 2-inch riser re- 

 tmming through fourteen 1^-inch re- 

 tmmsi. 



Ths 'boikr you have planned is too 

 small by about one-half. The piping as 

 stated aboTe m equivalent to 565 square 

 feet of radiation. The boiler with 100 

 feet of 1%-inch pipe would have capacity 

 for beating about 400 square feet of ra- 

 diation. In order, therefore, to be on 

 the safe side the boiler should carry 

 150 lineal feet of 1%-inch pipe. 



The idea of building manifolds with 

 tees and nipples is an excellent one; in 

 fact it is to be preferred to the cast- 

 iron manifold in all greenhouse work. 

 The specifications given contemplate the 

 flow pipe carried under the ridge and 

 the expansion tank connected to the main 

 return near the boiler and elevated so 

 the bottom of the tank is from eight to 

 twelve feet above the highest point in 

 the flow pipe, which should be at the 

 point in the flow pipe most remote from 

 the boiler. I think it would be well to 

 increase the size of the flue or smoke- 

 stack to at least ten inches. L. C. C.
