THE KROESCHEIL BOILER 



was installed to heat over six million 

 (6,000,000) square feet of glass during 

 the past three years. 



Expressions from the men who know: 



Used steam; was advised to change to 

 your hot water boiler. Find it about half 

 the worJt with your boiler. We would 

 have no other. 



Stkenitcke Beos., Park Ridge. 111. 



Have bandied many greenbouse boilers 

 of other makes, but Kroeschell beats 

 them all. I getperfect circulation in 80 

 minutes. wm. Otto, Oshkosh, Wis. 



Former boiler, 16 horsepower steam; as 

 much difference as between day and 

 night. Your boiler does not need recom- 

 mendation. Will recommend itself wher- 

 ever used. 



Theo F. Damkeow, Grosse Pointe, Mich. 



Tour boiler, in my estimation, is the best 

 in use today. We have two of them. 



PoTTEE & Sons, Waukegan, 111. 



When we rebuilt our plant, we were un- 

 decided whether to use your boiler or a 

 cast iron boiler. We are satisfied we 

 made no mistake in using Kroeschell. 

 Yeatman & Way, Kennett Square, Pa 



Have fired greenhouse boilers since 

 1885. both steam and hot water. Yours 

 suits me the best. I have two of your 

 boilers. At one time I had two cast iron 

 boilers working together and during a 

 blizzard the rear section of one boiler 

 gave out and the front section of the 

 other sprung a crack a couple of months 

 later. No more cast iron boilers for me. 

 I came very close to freezing out in both 

 instances. 6. M. Thost, DeSoto, Mo. 



The Kroeschell Generator 



prevents boiling over, cures sluggish circu- 

 lation, saves fuel, smaller mains can be 

 used, water can be heated to 240° with- 

 out boiling, increases circulation, 3 to 5 

 times faster; no hot water system com- 

 plete without it 



HAVE YOU EVER INVESTIGATED 



the one sure thing: 



KROESCHELL 



BOILERS 



See the simplicity of construction. Plate 

 material, NOT CAST IRON. Long fire travel, 

 thin water ways. The best and the most heat- 

 ing suriface in the world for the money. 



THE KROESCHEIL BOILER will give you more 

 heat with the same piping required by 

 other boilers, and with less fuel.

THE KROESCHELL BOILLR 



replaced 1346 cast iron boilers in 1905, 

 1906, 1907, and many in 1908. 



Expressions from the men who know: 



We are very well pleased with your 

 boiler. I have had fourteen years' 

 experience in heating, six with gravity 

 steam and eight with vacuum, but give 

 me the hot water system for all pur- 

 poses. Use me for references any time. 

 E. LiGHTHiSER & Son, Xenia, O. 



Have used upright boilers, tubular 

 boilers, and cast iron boilers. Your 

 boiler heats up better and easier than 

 any boiler we have ever had anything to 

 do with. If we ever buy another boiler, it 

 will certainly be a Kroeschell. 

 Poole & PuELiiANT, Washington 0. H.,0. 



I have fired boilers both here and in 

 Europe for the last forty years. The 

 Kroeschell is the best type of boiler I 

 have ever used. I have two cast iron 

 boilers, also a locomotive boiler coupled 

 with yours, but did not need to use the 

 cast iron boilers this winter. Your No. 7 

 boiler is rated at 15,000 sq. ft. of glass 

 and carries 25.000 sq. ft. of glass until the 

 outside temperature goes down to 10' of 

 frost. We have no trouble to keep 

 temperatures in our houses with easy 

 firing since we installed your boiler. The 

 main flows and returns are heating our 

 potting shed and packing room, which 

 are not included in the amount of square 

 feet of glass. From the boiler to the 

 farthest end of our violet houses and re- 

 turn is 800 ft. and circulates very quickly.

The Kroeschell Piping System 



is being installed by many progressive 

 florists. \]4,^'A or 2-in. threaded pipe, 

 or 4-in. tubing is used. Boiler can be set 

 on level with greenhouse walks. You do 

 not need deep boiler pits. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Put in tees where the pipes should come 

 and the valves on the flow end. This 

 will give you a neat joh, with no obstruc- 

 tion in the house. G. T. E. 



TWO ATTACHED HOUSES. 



I expect to build two even-span at- 

 tached houses, each 32x200, one for car- 

 nations and one for lettuce. The side 

 and end walls will be concrete three and 

 one-half feet above ground, with twenty- 

 four inches of glass between the top of 

 tlie wall and the gutters. I expect in the 

 future to double the length of these 

 houses. Will you please tell me what size 

 tubular fire-box boiler I had best put 

 in and how I can best arrange the heat- 

 ing pipes for low pressure steam f Zero 

 is about as cold as we usually get, but 

 once in a while it goes to 15 degrees 

 l)elow. J. W. 



A return tubular boiler of fifty-four 

 inches diameter would be the best size 

 Tor these houses. It will be over capa- 

 city now, but the future addition will 

 take care of that. The first thing, dig a 

 good hole in the ground, about twenty- 

 five feet square and twenty feet deep. 

 If you strike water, dig a good well in 

 the bottom and put in a pump and use 

 the water in the greenhouses. Run a
