Greenhouse Beating. 



BOILER AND PIPING. 



Will you kindly inform me how many 

 lines of 2-inch pipe it will take to heat 

 a greenhouse I am building 16%x42 feet, 

 5y2-foot walls, east and west, glass in 

 front wall (south), back boarded up to 

 plate. 



I have a stej^m boiler which is rated 

 400 horsepower for steam. It has one 

 2^ -inch flow and one l^^-inch return. 

 Would it do to use for hot water heat- 

 ing? A. A. B. 



The boiler in question can undoubted- 

 ly be used with fair economy and suc- 

 cess as a hot water boiler. Hot water 

 heaters usually have the openings for 

 flow and return pipes nearly the same 

 size, and usually considerably larger than 

 for steam. The house i^ question should 

 be provided with eleven runs of 2-inch 

 pipe arranged as flow and returns. 



L. C. C. 



PIPE CAPAQTY. 



I have built two greenhouses 20x160 

 feet, four feet high under gutter and 

 eleven feet to ridge-pole. They have 

 four flows and five returns each, all 2- 

 inch pipe. Is this enough to heat the 

 houses to 60 degrees with zero outside! 



B. S. 



While it is possible to keep out frost 

 with the piping you have provided, in 

 order that the specified temperature, 60 

 degrees, may be maintained during zero 

 weather, it will be necessary to add two 

 more runs of pipe to the present equip- 

 ment. The addition of two more returns 

 in each house is all that will be necessary 

 to be on the safe side; that is, eleven 

 lines of pipe in each house instead of the 

 nine you have already provided. 



L. C. C. 



PIPES IN LONG HOUSE. 



I have built one house 22x100 feet 

 (shed on west end with boiler-room un- 

 derneath), twelve feet to ridge. I intend 

 to grow lettuce and carnations. The 

 temperature is 38 degrees below zero. 

 What amount of hot water pipe and 

 what size do you recommend f I am 

 going to use a twenty horse-power tubu- 

 lar boiler. What size inlet and outlet
