PIPING. 



Will you please let me know the amount 

 of pipe it will take to heat a small green- 

 house 10x25 and 7' feet to the ridge f 

 I want 60 degrees in zero weather and 

 want to put flow pipes under the ridge 

 and come back with 114-iQch returns. 



G. W. H. 



I judge you wish to use hot water for 

 heating this small house. If so a good 

 plan will be to run a 2 -inch riser under the 

 ridge and return it through twelve 1^4- 

 inch pipes arranged on the side walls or 

 under the benches. If steam is to be used 

 a 1%-inch riser returning by nine 1^4- 

 inch pipes will be sufficient. L. C. C. 



HEATING PROBLEM. 



"Will you give the best plan for heating 

 the three greenhouses, the plans of which 

 we enclose! We have figured on using 

 steam, as we have always used it and are 

 not acquainted with the use of hot water 

 only through the trade papers. 



Nos. 1 and 2 are to be used for carna- 

 tions principally and to be kept between 

 50 and 55 degrees at night. No. 3 is for 

 roses, etc., and is to be kept at 50 or 60 

 degrees at night. We will build where 

 there is solid stone within two feet of 

 surface and would like to know if re- 

 turn steam can be raised to boiler pit 

 or ground surface in a satisfactory way. 

 The houses are all to be 100 feet long and 

 contain about 6,200 square feet of glass 

 all told. Is there a better way to build 

 the houses than north and south, with 

 work shed across the north end! What 

 horse-power boiler will be required to fur- 

 nish steam and would it be advisable to 

 use horizontal tubular boilers t 



J. H. C. 



The two connected houses, which are 

 to be used for carnations, can be piped as 

 follows: House No. 1, the outside house, 

 should have a 2-inch flow under ridge, 

 returning to the main return through 

 eight 114 -inch pipes. House No. 2, the 

 center house, should have a 2-iiich riser 

 under ridge and seven 1^4 -inch return 

 pipes under the benches. House No. 3, 

 the rose house, will require a 2 V^ -inch 

 riser under the ridge returning by four- 

 teen 114 -inch pipes distributed so as to 

 give one extra pipe along the outside wall 

 or under the bench nearest the outside 

 wall. Your plant requires between four- 

 teen and fifteen hundred feet of radia- 

 tion, which to heat will require a boiler 

 with at least 200 feet of heating surface. 

 A 15-hcrse-power return flue boiler will 

 probably be adequate. If the rock is not 

 too hard it will certainly be economy to 

 make an excavation sufficiently deep to 

 place the water line in the boiler 2 or 3 

 feet below the level of the return pipes 

 under the benches of the greenhouses. Use 

 a low ash-pit and fire-box and get the 

 boUer setting as low down as possible to 

 economize in excavation. The cost of the

excavation will probably not be more 

 than the cost of a steam-trap or feed 

 pump and hot well which will be neces- 

 sary if the boiler is kept above ground. 

 A gasoline engine, a steam-trap or a 

 steam pump, can any of them be used to 

 return the water to the boiler when it 

 is set above ground, but all are expensive 

 to install and require constant attention 

 and are to be avoided if possible in small 

 plants. A gravity system with sufficient 

 fall always gives satisfaction. L. C. C. 



HEATING. 



I intend to use a hot water heater for 

 my greenhouses and will have to have a 

 supply tank for the heater. I have a 

 large supply tank above my heater which 

 I use to water my plants with. Would 

 it keep the water too warm in this tank 

 to water with if I used this tank to 

 supply my heater? Or would I have to 

 have an extra tank to supply my heater f 



W. S. L. 



If, as you say, the supply tank for 

 watering purposes is of large capacity — 

 30 to 100 barrels — I do not think the ex- 

 pansion pipe if connected directly from 

 the main return to the boiler with this 

 tank would heat the water sufficiently to 

 be a disadvantage for watering purposes. 

 In fact, tepid water is somewhat of an 

 advantage. If the water never gets 

 above 80 or 90 degrees F. there will not 

 be the slightest danger from using it 

 for watering purposes. L. C. C.
