fireenhoase Heating. 



The Morehead Mfg. Co., Detroit, has 

 found so large a demand in Canada for 

 its automatic steam trap that it has 

 opened a branch factory for the manufac- 

 ture of the trap at Chatham, Ont. The 

 Morehead trap is designed primarily for 

 greenhouse -work, and has done much for 

 greenhouse owners who previously could 

 not use steam because of trouble in re- 

 turning the condensation to the boilers, 

 but the trap is also used in other kinds 

 of heating systems and the business has 

 become a large one. 



CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

fully explained, will certainly lead a great 

 many people astray. 



To start with, it is an absolute fact 

 that a boiler of certain dimensions that 

 will just heat five houses 20x100 if used 

 with hot water, will heat only five houses 

 of the same size if used with steam, not- 

 withstanding any theories to the con- 

 trary. 



First, it is the burning of the coal 

 that produces the heat ; this heat, no mat- 

 ter how applied, simply goes to make up 

 the heat losses for the houses. The only 

 (lifTerence between heating by hot water 

 or steam, as far as the boiler and radia- 

 tion are concerned, is that it takes more 

 radiating surface in the heating pipes 

 with hot water heat, because the tempera- 

 ture of the radiating surface is lower 

 in case of hot water. This fact is shown 

 by the catalogue of every firm which 

 makes both steam and hot water boilers, 

 particularly in the case of the American 

 Eadiator Co. They have probably made 

 more tests of steam and hot water boil- 

 ers than any other firm in the world.
