The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 31, 190S. 



BOILER AND RADIATION. 



We have a greenhouse 100 feet long, 

 twenty feet wide, three-quarter spac, 

 eleven feet to the ridge, seven feet to thr 

 rear plate and three and a half feet ii» 

 front, running east and west. We have 

 a cast-iron boiler of eight sections. The 

 grate is 19x32 inches. Would this boiler 

 be large enough to heat the house at 55 

 degrees in zero weather? How many 2- 

 inch flows and how many 1^4 -inch re- 

 turns will be required to heat with 

 steam? The office is on the east and 

 breaks the east winds. A. W. V. 



I regret to say that it is impossible 

 to more than guess at the size and ca- 

 pacity of your boiler from the figures 

 given. The grate surface, which is a 

 little less than five feet, may bear a 

 ratio of one to forty or one to eighty, 

 depending upon the designer. It is safe 

 to calculate on a basis of one to forty, 

 without doubt, in which case the boiler 

 would have a capacity to care for 1,600 

 square feet of radiation. To maintain a 

 temperature of 55 degrees in this house 

 with hot water at 180 degrees will require 

 800 feet of radiation, and to maintain 

 the same temperature with steam at five 

 pounds pressure will require about 570 

 square feet of radiation. To provide the 

 necessary heat with steam a 2-inch riser 

 under the ridge, returning by twelve 1^- 

 inch pipes along the side walls or under 

 the benches will suffice. If hot water ia 

 used a larger flow and more returns will 

 be necessary. For hot water the flow 

 should be 2 ^-inches and there should be 

 at least seventeen li/4-inch returns.
