I will venture to say that no matter what 

 kind of burner you put in, it will be 

 far more economical. But four burners 

 need be used as a starter at a cost not to

HEATING SYSTEM. 



I have a greenhouse 20x80 and a 

 boiler room 20x20, with the floor two 

 feet lower than the floor of the green- 

 house. My heating pipes for the coils 

 are only 1-inch. The water line of my 

 boiler will Be two feet above the green- 

 house floor. I prefer to use hot water, 

 but is it possible with 1-incb pipe and 

 can the coils be placed under the 

 benches? For general greenhouse stock 

 would an overhead heating system with 

 steam be desirable? My bouse is three 

 feet in the ground with 5-foot walls. I 

 have a twelve horse-power tubular power 

 boiler, and should like to get along with- 

 out a Morehead trap. With such a 

 boiler with hot water heating how large 

 and how high must the expansion tank 

 be raised? S. C. C. 



I do not think it advisable to attempt 

 to heat a house eighty feet long by hot 

 water with 1-inch pipe; 1^-inch pipe is 

 the smallest ever used for hot water and 

 is the size most universally used in 

 steam heating, l^^-inch and 2-inch pipe 

 being extensively employed when hot 

 water is the means of heating. 



An overhead system of heating is not

desirable in a house for general stock. 

 In such a house all piping should be 

 kept under the benches, if possible, save 

 the main flow or riser, which, if the 

 boiler is not well below the general level 

 of the heating system, is better carried 

 beneath the ridge of the house. 



It is not quite clear what is meant 

 by the water line of the boiler. With 

 steam we speak of the water line, but in 

 hot water heating the system must be 

 full and under pressure, the result of 

 an elevated expansion tank. 



If the top of the shell of the boiler 

 is not higher than the level of the re- 

 turns under the benches the pipes can be 

 arranged beneath the benches and the 

 house heated by a hot water system. In 

 such a case I should carry a main flow 

 from the boiier under the ridge of the 

 house to the far end and then divide it 

 by two or three branches to heat the 

 pipes under the benches. The main sup- 

 ply pipe or riser should be 3-inch and if 

 l^/^-inch returns are used the house will 

 require fifteen pipes the length of the 

 house. Connect the expansion tank to 

 the main return near the boiler by a 

 %-inch pipe and elevate the tank as 

 much as possible, sixteen to twenty feet 

 or more. L. C. C.

DIAMETER OF STACK. 



I have two brick flues, one 9x13 and 

 one 13x13, in the same stack, running 

 from two boilers. I am thinking of 

 extending by means of an iron smoke- 

 stack. What diameter of stack would 

 give best results? W. A. C. 



An extension eighteen inches in diam- 

 eter will be sufficient to use in lengthen- 

 ing your chimnej\ Such a stack will 

 have a trifle less area than the combined 

 area of the two flues, but not enough 

 lees to materially lessen the work done 

 by them. L. C. C.
