HEATING. 



We have three adjoining houses 

 which run cast and west. The south 

 house, which we will call No. 1, is 17x 

 61 feet. We need 60 degrees here when 

 it is 20 degrees below zero outdoors. 

 In No. 2, sixty-four feet long, we need 

 54 degrees and in No. 3, also sixty-four 

 feet long, we need 56 degrees. The 

 houses are all five feet to the gutter. 

 The first and second houses are ten 

 feet to the ridge and the third nine 

 feet. 



Along the east end of the three 

 houses there is first an oflSce, then a 

 lean-to 13x64, and then the boiler shed. 

 We wish to heat with hot water. The 

 boiler has a large dome with a 4-inch 

 opening at the top. At the bottom 

 there are two 4-inch and one 3-inch 

 openings. We have on hand some 

 2-inch and 3-inch pipe for flows, 520 

 feet of 1%-inch for house No. 1 and 

 1-inch pipe for all the rest. Will you 

 please tell us how- much will be needed 

 in each house? Can the main flow, 

 passing through the lean-to, be raised 

 at the farther end, where it enters the 

 office, and drop the branch flows of the 

 main flow to the far end of each green- 

 house? Our supply tank is made of 

 boiler iron and is above the boiler 

 house. We also used it as an expansion 

 tank. Is this wasting fuel? R. B. 



You fail to give the width of house 

 No. 2 or No. 3, but I have assumed 

 them to be about the same as No. 1, i. 

 c, seventeen feet, and have made cal- 

 culations accordingly. House No. 1 

 should have at least nine returns of 

 1*4 -inch pipe supplied by one 2-inch 

 flow. Houses No. 2 and No. 3, if of the 

 same size as No. 1, should have a like 

 amount of piping, while house No. 4 

 should have eight returns if 1%-inch 

 pipe is used. I would not advise the 

 use of 1-inch pipe for hot water, even 

 under the pressure system, but if you 

 elect to use it houses No. 2 and No. 3 

 will require thirteen lines of pipe each, 

 besides a 2-inch supply, and house No. 

 4 will require eleven lines of 1-inch 

 pipe. There is no objection to giving 

 the main flow pipe a gentle up-hill 

 grade through the lean-to house. If 

 this is done I think it would be well 

 also to maintain the up-hill system in 

 the flow or supply pipes in all the 

 houses. I fear the runs are pretty long 

 for hot water, and with the 1-inch pipe 

 I anticipate some difliculty in securing 

 and maintaining a circulation. If you 

 arrange the plant so as to run it as a 

 steam plant during severe weather the 

 small pipes will give satisfaction. If 

 possible it would be well to carry an 

 independent riser from the boiler to 

 each house. There is no objection to 

 using the supply tank as an expansion 

 tank. L. C. C,
