The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOTEMBEB 30, 1905. 



IN GREENLAND. 



My present house, built this summer, 

 is 20x50, with walls four feet, eleven 

 feet to the ridge. I have installed a hot 

 water boiler with a capacity of 856 feet 

 radiation. From the boiler I have run 

 three 2-inch pipes to a 4-inch main run- 

 ning along the ridge, giving it six 

 inches fall in the fifty feet; taking off 

 a 2V^-inch lead to a header under each 

 side bench, with four 2-inch pipes in 

 each, giving them a fall of nine inches 

 back, and a 2-inch return from each 

 coil to the boiler. This gives me fifty feet 

 of 4-inch pipe, 400 feet of 2-inch, and 

 about twenty-two feet of 2i^-inch, Will 

 this give me a night temperature of 

 from 48 to 56 degrees if it should drop 

 to 56 degrees below zero, as it did once 

 last winter? I might say that the walls 

 are banked with earth on the outside 

 up to the plate, leaving no wall ex- 

 posed, and only one end, which is 

 double glazed with a l^^-inch air space 

 between. When I extend the house 

 the other fifty feet, as I intend doing, 

 will the same boiler do the work with 

 the extra amount of piping similar to 

 what I have already installed? If 

 necessary, I can add another length of 

 2-inch pipe to each coil. J. S. 



The boiler you have provided, if not 

 over-rated in its capacity, should do the 

 work you have planned for it. The pip- 

 ing as planned is not -quite safe in a 

 severe climate. Your house calls for 

 about 360 square feet of radiation, 

 while the piping you have installed is 

 about fifty square feet short of this 

 amount. The easiest way to provide 

 this will be to add a 2-inch return under 

 each of the side benches. Two addi- 

 tional 2-inch returns will add the neces- 

 sary radiation. L. C. C.
