WATER CIRCULATION. 



In the issue for December 28, on page 

 420, under the heading ''Limit to Hot 

 Water," the statement is made by L, C. 

 C. that with a circulating pump hot 

 water can be carried 200 to 300 feet, but 

 without some artificial means of hasten- 

 ing the flow it is not advisable to exceed 

 100 feet in 2-inch pipes. I would like 

 to have the mode of applying and using 

 a circulating pump explained, also the 

 kind of pump used and the motive power 

 required to run it; whether any extra 

 pressure is put on the system generally 

 or does the extra pressure affect only the 

 circulating pipes, or boiler and pipes 

 equally? What amount of pressure is 

 put on, how regulated, etc.? Where are 

 such pumps made or sold? Please give 

 such particulars as a fellow can under- 

 stand who does not claim to be an ex- 

 pert, though having had some years' ex- 

 perience in a small way with both steam 

 and hot water. I. McA. 



In large plants, where water heat is 

 used, the circulation is hastened by in- 

 stalling steam pumps of proper size to 

 handle the water in the system as rapidly 

 as is desired and as rapidly as the heaters 

 can raise it to the desired temperature. 

 These punips are operated by auxiliary 

 steam boilers maintained at high pres- 

 sure. In towns where electricity is avail- 

 able, electric motors can be substituted 

 for the steam to operate the pumps. A 

 very neat device of this description has 

 recently been placed upon the market. 

 It consists of a rotary pump of a very 

 simple nature. The rotating and water 

 propelling portion, consisting of a rapidly 

 rotating auger pod, which has sufficient 

 power to move the water in the system 

 with a very slight expenditure of energy. 

 The only form of pump of this type 

 which has come under my notice was 

 operated by . electricity but there is no 

 reason why they should not be propelled 

 by steam or water turbines. In any case 

 the pump is placed on the return for the 

 purpose of drawing the water through 

 the system more quickly. L. C. C. 



I FIND the Review reliable and get 

 much useful information from it much 

 cheaper than I could get it any other 

 way. — G. A. Dudley, Newmarket, N. H.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage 

 of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc- 

 cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6cx>o feet of 

 wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6ocx) feet of 

 the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. 



Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of 

 the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the
