fireeahotise Heating. 



This is the season of the year at which 

 greenhouse owners who are using steam 

 for heating, if they depend on gravity 

 to return condensation, make up their 

 minds to put in a steam trap before 

 another season. The Morehead Mfg. Co.. 

 Detroit, says more steam traps were sold 

 to florists in 1907 than in any previous 

 year, while the prospect for 1908 is for 

 another considerable increase. 



POSITION OF EXPANSION TANK, 



I thank you for your reply to my ques- 

 tion, printed in the Review of January 

 16, regarding piping, and would like to 

 ask whether the proposed branches should 

 be 2-inch, the same as the flow pipe, or 

 smaller. What is the object of raising 

 the expansion tank so high? If it were 

 raised above the roof of the boiler-shed, 

 it would have to be protected and a heat- 

 ing pipe carried up to it, to prevent freez- 

 ing. It would also be inconvenient to 

 fill, and the water gauge would be out 

 of sight. E. C. B. 



■ The branches in each case should be the 

 same size as the main flow, which in this 

 case is 2-inch. If you cut a hole eighteen 

 inches square through the xoof of the 

 boiler-room and carry the expansion tank 

 on a trestle so as to place it twelve or 

 fifteen feet above the high point in the 

 system, you will thus make the boiler 

 more eflicient by increasing the tempera- 

 ture to which the water can be heated.

The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



Is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist because it is durable, and does 

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, savinK its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.

The expansion tank will not freeze if 

 housed in by double boarding and tar 

 paper. The depth of water in the barrel 

 or tank used for the expansion tank can 

 be indicated by placing a float in the 

 tank and attaching a weighted cord to it 

 so as to act as an indicator. A pipe can 

 be carried over the top of the barrel to 

 serve as a means of filling it. L. C. C.
