A COIL HEATER. " 



' In southern California I wish to heat 

 with a coil boiler having a double loop, 

 that is, eight pipes in the lower coil and 

 seven pipes in the coils between the 

 plates, which make the fire travel twice 

 the length of the upper section above 

 the fire box. I can use l*^-inch pipe for 

 the coils or lJ4-inch if they will do. 

 The coils will be three feet long and 

 eight runs of pipe to two and seven to 

 the other two, making ninety lineal feet 

 of pipe. Of course the coil used for the 

 grate will not heat much. My house is 

 45x105. I shall have to run the riser 

 or risers under the gutters, which are six 

 feet from the ground. The east, or high- 

 est, end is four feet higher than the west. 

 How many runs of 1^-inch or li^-inch 

 pipe will I need to heat it to 50 or 55 de- 

 a^rees with the temperature outside at 25 

 degrees above zero? It has never been 

 colder here than that, but the usual tem- 

 perature is for two or three hours 32 to 

 36 degrees. Will the heater do the work, 

 or will it need an extra set of coils? 

 How far below the surface should the 

 heater be placed to insure good circu- 

 lation? I shall have a straight drop of 

 about three feet at the heater and a 

 gradual drop of six feet, making a drop 

 of nine feet. A. L. H. 



I fear the plan of the heater you pro- 

 pose exposes too great a length of pipe 

 to the action of the fire. As planned, 

 the water must travel twelve feet through 

 looped pipes the full length of which is 

 exposed to the action of heated g^ases. 

 I believe it would be better to make th^ 

 furnace, say, four feet in length and 

 use a single loop above the fire. This 

 Avould give eight feet instead of twelve 

 in contact with the heated gases. If it 

 is desirable to use the partitioned fire- 

 box, carry the returns and riser from 

 one side of the house to the coil just 

 over the fire and the flow and returns 

 from the other side of the house to the 

 coil above the partition in the furnace. 

 The heater planned is capable of sup- 

 plying heat for about 350 square feet of 

 radiation, while even in your climate the 

 house, 45x105 feet, should have at 

 least 700 feet of radiation in it. To 

 supply this with l^^-inch pipe would 

 require thirteen lines of pipe the length 

 of the house. If you were to build two 

 furnaces such as you propose and con- 

 nect one with each of the two coils, using 

 six lines of pipe in one and seven in the 

 other, about the right amount of piping 

 and heat would be provided, in reality 

 two furnaces, each carrying ninety lineal 

 feet of li/.,-inch pipe. L. C. C. 



TAR ON PIPES. 



Will 3'ou please tell me how to check 

 the odor of tar? I have some heating 

 pipes painted with it. I have scraped 



_e pipes but the odor remains. With 

 at would you paint? W. T. 



I know of no way to check the odor 

 of tar in the houses as long as tar re- 

 mains upon the pipes. If the pipes are 

 carefully scraped and painted with as- 

 phaltum varnish it may check the 

 trouble. L. C. C. 



Peoria, III. — J. C. Murray is still con- 

 fined to his home, after two years' ill- 

 ness with blood poisoning, but is now 

 able to sit up and, when he gets a Jittle 

 more strength, will be found at the store 

 once more.
