USE OF STEAM TRAP. 



I am about to wall in a fifty horse- 

 power steam boiler and find that I can- 

 not get the boiler deep enough to get 

 the return water back if I keep the 

 return pipes undeF the benches. I can- 

 not lower the boiler on account of water. 

 Will a steam trap answer the purpose f 

 The returns as they are now would come 

 in almost at the bottom of the boiler 

 instead of above the top, and the boiler 

 is fifty-foiur inches in diameter. If a 

 trap will do please give me the name of 

 the best one made, also the size of pipe 

 necessary to carry enough return water 

 to heat 16,000 square feet of glass. 

 Will a trap give good satisfaction or 

 are they liable to get out of order t

head, made at Detroit. It wiU be neces- 

 sary to provide a hot well into which the 

 water from the house can be discharged, 

 and from which it can be elevated by the 

 trap to the boiler. L. C. C. 



BOILER AND HEATING. 



I have a house 16x30, heated by 2-inch 

 overhead flow and eleven li4-inch re- 

 turns under the benches. The north end 

 is against a dwelling. I am building 

 across the south end of this house, a 

 house 21x60, 5-foot walls, two feet of 

 glass in the south wall, east end of 

 glass, with a shed on the west end. I 

 have solid beds. I want 60 degrees in 

 the small house and 50 in the large one 

 in zero weather. Please give me the best 

 plan ubder these conditions for heating. 

 Will a fifteen horse-power, fire-box boiler 

 be large enough to heat these houses and 

 for 60-foot radiators, using hot water?

It is to be regretted that you cannot 

 lower the boiler so as to use a gravity 

 system. However, if you mainttdn suflB- 

 dent pressure oa the boiler at all times 

 the return steam trap will do the work 

 nicely. Traps are simple in construction 

 and do not easily get out of order. 

 There are several good ones on the mar- 



The houses in question 16x30 can be 

 successfully heated with water at 180 

 degrees by using a 2-inch flow under the 

 ridge and eleven li4:inch returns under 

 the benches, and the 21x60-foot house by 

 a 2-inch flow and twelve 1%-inch re- 

 turns under the benches. To care for 

 the radiators in the house an indepen- 

 dent 2-inch flow should be carried from 

 the boiler to the house to make direct 



connection with the heating plant, 

 rather than to use a continuation of the 

 greenhouse flow for the purpose. The 

 fifteen horse-power boiler will do the 

 work, but it must be remembered that 

 the fire-box type, i. e., locomotive type, 

 is less economical than the return tube 

 type. L. C. C.
