PIPES AND BLAST BOILER. 



I have three houses in which the pipes, 

 for hot water, are laid in series of three 

 4-inch pipes to each side, the three flows 

 being along the south side, crossing the 

 end in one 4-inch, to enter the three 

 returns on the north side. I think this 

 plan is expensive to heat, because the 

 flow of water is retarded. Am I right! 



I have made one line a flow and used 

 a bend of two elbows to make a return 

 on the flow side, and crossed over with . 

 a single line to catch the third pipe on 

 the opposite side for a return, making a 

 flow and return on that side, the same as 

 in the first system. I figure this will 

 give less friction, and it is only sixty-five 

 feet instead of eighty, as before, to the 

 beginning of the return. 



1 am burning slack in ft hot blast 

 heater. Would a 2-inch pipe rwn from 

 outside near the flue, and brought into 

 the boiler to enter the top of the fire- 

 box near the center, facilitate combus- 

 tion? In a hot blast heater in my resi- 

 dence, I have noticed little waste. Can 

 I apply these outside pipes to my green- 

 house boiler and get the same results! 

 How many of them should I use? 



E. L. K. 



I think the re-arrangement you have 

 made in your heating plant an excellent 

 one. The only modification I should 

 have made would be to have arranged 

 one flow pipe on the north and one on 

 the south side of the greenhouse, and 

 used each of the other two pipes on the 

 same side for returns, omitting the pipe 

 across the end of the house altogether. 

 Your plan may, however, work quite as 

 well. 



I have had no experience with the hot 

 blast construction, but see no reason why 

 if it works well in a house heater the 

 same would not hold good in a green- 

 house plant. Am sorry I can not aid 

 you more with this problem. L. C. C. 



PIPE ARRANGEMENT. 



I have an eaat-and-west greenhouse, 

 16x75 feet, 5%-foot walls, lO^^-foot 

 ridge, with glass in one end. My boiler 

 is for hot water, rated at 1,025 square 

 feet, and is at the west end. 1 have 

 a 3-inch overhead flow, and six IV^-inch 

 returns on each side, running under the 

 benches. The high point is at the boiler. 

 There is a fall of eighteen inches in 

 seventy feet. It is almost impossible to
