If J. N. G. A., Morton Grove, III., will 

 repeat his inquiry, giving fuller details 

 and signing his full name, his question 

 will have attention in this column. 

 Anonymous inquiries can not be an- 

 swered. 



CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



We would like someone to answer 

 whether or not we can heat properly with 

 steam, even in zero weather, with the 

 boiler described below: Four houses, each 

 25x150 feet (15,000 feet). Two houses 

 are joined together east of the boiler 

 and two joined together west of the 

 boiler, which puts the heating plant in 

 the center of the houses. The boiler is 

 of single draft, fire tube pattern, nine 

 feet six inches long and forty inches in 

 diameter, with forty-two 3-inch tubes. The 

 firebox is 3x5%, grate surface twenty- 

 four inches high. This firebox has a water 

 jacket on top and sides into which the 

 return water first enters. The 4-inch steam 

 outlet is above this firebox. B. F. C. 



Yes, the boiler will carry your place 

 all right. G. T. E. 



A SMALL HOUSE. 



My house is 18x60 feet, six feet to the 

 eaves, fourteen feet to the ridge, with 

 glass in both ends and two feet of glass 

 in the side walls. I wish to use 2-inch 

 flows and l^^-inch and 1^4 -inch returns. 

 My hot water boiler is 36x60 inches, with 

 sixty-one 2-inch flues. It will be one 

 foot below the floor of 4;he house. Will 

 it be deep enough? We want 60 degrees 

 in zero weather. The boiler is located at 

 the south end of the house. C. A. B.

on each outside wall and one flow pipe 

 under each bench. Divide by a tee at the 

 end and come back in two li/^rinch re- 

 turns, running them into a main cross 

 return back to the boiler. Run two re- 

 turn l^^-inch pipes on each side wall. 

 Your boiler is all right, but the head 

 room is hardly enough and I would ad- 

 vise to put the boiler in a pit about two 

 feet to two and one half feet deeper than 

 the cellar. Get the vertical columns of 

 the flow and return as long as possible.

My idea on the piping of this house 

 would be to use four 2-inch flows, one 



HOUSES AT RIGHT ANGLES. 



I have a new greenhouse, 16x114, run- 

 ning north and south. The south end is 

 against a shed and the north end against 

 a greenhouse, which runs east and west. 

 The new house is four feet to the eaves, 

 with fourteen inches of glass on the 

 sides. The ridge is eight and one-half 

 feet high. The boiler is in a pit at the 

 east end of the east and west house, 

 thirty-three feet from the center line of 

 the new house. I could put a boiler in 

 the shed at the south end of the new 

 house, but that would mean running two 

 fires. Could I heat this new house, 16x 

 114, joining it on to the heating system 

 now in the old east and west house, and 

 use one boiler? In the old house there 



are 2% -inch flows and 1*4 -inch returns. 

 Hot water is used. Would larger pipe be 

 better for the new house? The coldest 

 temperature outside is about 20 degrees 

 above zero and in the house 54 degrees 

 is wanted. How should I heat this new 

 house? J. T. 



I would leave the boiler where it is 

 and run a new flow and return through 

 the east and west house to the junction 

 with the north and south house. This 

 should be 3i/^-inch pipe. Run the flow 

 to the far end of the north and south 

 house, tee off with l^i-inch returns and 

 bring the same into a main cross return 

 in line with the south side of the east 

 and west house. Run the return 3i>^-inch 

 back to the boiler. G. T. E. 



A CONICAL HEATER. 



I have a greenhouse about 17x36, three 

 and one half feet to the eaves and eight 

 feet to the ridge. There is glass in one 

 end only. I heat this with a round hot 

 water boiler, twenty inches in diameter 

 and twenty-eight inches high, the water 

 jacket extending entirely around the 

 boiler. There is a 3-inch opening for the 

 flow. The house is piped with twelve 

 lVl>-incli pipes under the benches, fed by 

 a 2-inch riser under the ridge. Is this
