DEFICIENT RADIATION. 



For several years I heated my carna- 

 tion house, which was 20x100 feet, with 

 six lines of 2-inch pipe passing aroua<l 

 under the benches. I rebuilt the house 

 last fall and hung the six lines of pipe 

 with hook plates on the walls, with about 

 the same grade and I did not get heat 

 enough though I used the name pipe and 

 heater. Had I better take the pipe from 

 the walls and lay them out horizontally 

 under the benches? The climate is that 

 of Maine. I have another house the same 

 size with six lines of 2-inch pipe hung 

 with hook plates on the walls but in the 

 upper pipe and the fourth one down 

 from the top the water does not circu- 

 late. These two pipes get warm only 

 about ten feet from the heater. I cannot 

 see anything to cause the water to stop in 

 these pipes and not in the others. Can 

 yont 



Would you advise building a house 

 150 feet long that you were to heat with 

 water, or would you build two houses 

 each seventy-five feett I have no room 

 to extend one east and the other west 

 from the heater but have plenty of room 

 to the west and south. W. E. H. 



I am not surprised that you were un- 

 able to maintain the temperature in a 

 house 20x100 witH six 2-inch pipes. Six 

 2-inch pipes 100 feet long, or 600 feet, 

 is equivalent to 372 square feet of radia- 

 tion, and to hold this house at 50 degrees 

 it should have 610 square feet of radia- 

 tion. You have a little less than two- 

 thirds the heating surface necessary for 

 this house. I fully believe you will get 

 a more economical and satisfactory dis- 

 tribution of heat in the houses by plac- 

 ing the pipes under the benches instead of 

 on the side walls. This plan is not al- 

 ways possible but whenever practicable 

 it is well to follow it. The pipes which 

 do not heat are probably air-bound and 

 need a vent, or they may have a slight 

 hackle in them, which impedes the cir- 

 culation. In practice, with a gravity sys- 

 tem, it is not advisable to carry hot 

 water more than 100 feet. The houses 

 seventy-five feet long would in my judg- 

 ment be best if hot water heat is to 

 be used. L. C. C. 



PIPING FOR SMALL HOUSE. 



How much l^^-inch pipe will it take 

 to maintain a temperature of 55 degrees 

 in a house 16x20 feet, double side walls, 

 tarred and papered between? It runs 

 north and south ; south gable glass ; eaves 

 five feet, ridge seven feet. Will use hot 

 water. Outside temperature zero. I ex- 

 pect to run the pipes under the benches 

 and return to the heater the same way. 



C. E. E. 



Three hundred lineal feet of i;^-inch 

 pipe should be suflScient to give the tem- 

 perature desired in this house. L. C. C.
