The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



JANDARX 30, 1908. 



AS MANY FLOVS AS RETURNS ? 



I have started to pipe a greenhouse 22x 

 108 feet, running east and west. There 

 are twenty-four inches of glass on the 

 south side. The house is protected on 

 the north side by another greenhouse. 

 There is a glass gable on the east end, 

 and the boiler-house is on the west end. 

 I intended to carry the water from the 

 boiler to the floor level, then running a 

 4-inch pipe the width of the house, con- 

 tinuing in 3-inch pipe to the manifolds 

 and using as many flows as returns. 



I would thank you for suggestions that 

 would be better, and would like to know 

 the advantage of an expansion tank 

 twenty feet high over one twelve feet 

 high, and the advantage of more returns 

 than flows. C. L. C. 



I judge from what you say that you 

 wish to use cast-iron pipe in your heat- 

 ing system. If you do not and can use 

 wrought-iron pipe as well, I would sug- 

 gest that you carry a 3i/4-inch flow under 

 the ridge of the house from the boiler to 

 the far end, there divide by 3-inch pipes 

 to supply as many manifolds as there are 

 benches, under which place in all thirteen 

 2-inch pipes, giving the extra pipe to the 

 most exposed side. The reason for this 

 plan is that you have pipes more easily 

 installed and deliver the hot water from 

 the boiler directly into the radiating 

 pipes under the benches at a higher tem- 

 perature than when as many flows are 

 used as returns. The far end of the house 

 will show less variation in temperature 

 from the near end than by your system. 

 A 20-foot expansion tank is eight feet 

 higher than a 12-foot one, thus adding 

 approximately four pounds' pressure to 

 the system, which in turn raises the boil- 

 ing point of the water in the boiler, thus 

 making it more efficient. The idea in a 

 heating plant is that the flow pipes act 

 merely as conveyors, while the returns act 

 as radiators. If a large number of flow 

 pipes are used the water is distributed 

 and begins to cool, so that by the time 

 it reaches the returns the temperature 

 has fallen many degrees, because of the 

 slow circulation due to many flows. One 

 end of the house is hot and the other end 

 cool, which is not desirable. L. C. C.
