GIVE THE DETAILS. 



I enclose rough pencil draft of green- 

 houses with proposed additions, which 

 owing to the unevenness of the gjround I 

 am at a loss to know just how to run 

 heater pipes. I will install a new water 

 heater. Will have to run the house across 

 the' other two on account of the slope 

 of the ground and can hardly see how to 

 pipe it and get the pipes out of' the way. 

 I will have to cross paths and beds and 

 go under doors, etc. Would it be best to 

 put 2-inch flows overhead and use some 

 4-ineh returns under the bench 1 The 

 present piping has never been satisfac- 

 tory. Does it need more piping? 



W. W. N. 



I am sorry to say I can not even so 

 much as guess at the amount of or the 

 way to arrange the pipes in these houses 

 from the data given. Neither the sketch 

 nor the letter give dimensions of the 

 houses already built or those proposed 

 to be built. I think that with a good 

 ground plan, giving dimensions of the 

 houses, with a general description of 

 their uses and the slope of the ground, a 

 plan for heating can be worked out. 

 Send the figures we have so often said 

 were essential — length, width, slope of 

 roof and height of side walls, together 

 with desired location of heating plant, 

 and state whether eteam or hot water is 

 to be used. L, C. C, 



RADIATION AND BOILER. 



Will you please tell me what size 

 boiler and how many and wha* size pipe 

 I need to heat three greenhouses 22x75 

 with steam to 55 degrees when the out- 

 side temperature is 10 degrees above 

 zero? Also tell me the heating capacity 

 of a four horse-power tubular boiler. 



A. W. 



The boiler to heat the three houses in 

 question with steam should have a 

 rated capacity for about 2,000 feet of 

 radiation. A twenty horse-power boiler 

 will be suflicient to do the work. Each 

 house should have a 2%-inch flow pipe 

 under the ridge, divided at the end of 

 the house most distant from the boiler 

 to return through fourteen 1^4 -inch 

 pipes distributed under the benches of 

 the house. Five or six of the returns in 

 each house should be provided with 

 valves so that during mild weather they 

 can be put out of commission. A four 

 horse-power boiler will provide heat for 

 about 400 feet of radiation. L. C. C.

NATURAL GAS. 



We have a small greenhouse, a 

 lean-to 11x28, with continuous ventila- 

 tors at the ridge and connected by 6x8 

 double doors with our dwelling. We 

 heat the greenhouse with a coal stove. 

 Could we safely use natural gas in this 

 stove by taking extra precautions to 

 ventilate well, such as introducing fresh 

 air through the house in very bad 

 weather? A. E. Z. 



The introduction of natural gas to 

 your greenhouse is likely to lead to 

 poor results, no matter how freely you 

 ventilate. There would be no trouble 

 could you secure such good piping that 

 there would be no leakage, and perfect 

 combustion, but these are practically 

 out of the question. H. O.
