THE KROESCHELL 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 cbaoge to 

 your hot water boiler. Flud it about half 

 tbe worn witti your boiler. We would 

 bare no other. 



Stebnitcke Bros., Park Ridse. III. 



Have bandied many Kreeuhui-se boilers 

 of otter makes, but KroebCbell beats 

 tbem ail. I get perf* ct circulation in 80 

 minutes. Wm. Otto, Oshkosh, Wis. 



Former boiler, 16 horsepower steam; as 

 much difference as between day and 

 niKht. Your boiler does not need recom- 

 mendation. Will recommend itsell wber- 

 ever used. 



Thko F. Damerow, Qrosse Pointe, Mich. 



Yuur boiler, in my estimation, is the best 

 in use today. V> e have two of them. 



Potter & Hons, 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 

 miide no mistake in using Kroeschell. 

 Ybatman & 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 woiking together and during a 

 blizaard the rear section of one boiler 

 gave out and the front section of the 

 other sprung a crack a couple of months 

 later. Mo more cast iron boilers lor me. 

 I came very close to freezing out in both 

 instances. G. M. Thost, DeSoto, Mo. 



The Kroeschell Generator 



prevents boiling over, cures sluggish circu- 

 lation, saves fuel, smaller mains can be 

 used, water can be healed to 240" with- 

 out boiling, inaeases circulation, 3 to 5 

 times faster; no hot water system com- 

 plete without iL

 other boilers, and with less fuel.

THE KROESCHELL BOILfR 



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 bad 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. 

 £. Lighthiser & Son, Xenla, O. 



Have used upright boilers, tubular 

 boilers, and cast iron boilers. Your 

 boiler beats 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. 

 PooLK & PuRLiiANT, Washington C. H., O. 



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 

 b ilers, 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 fq. ft. of class 

 and carries 2.S 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 t-ince we installed your boiler. The 

 main (lows and returns aie heating our 

 potiing shed and packing room, which 

 are not included in the amount of square 

 feet o glass From the boiler to the 

 farthest end of our violet houses and re- 

 turn is 800 ft. and circulatet* very quickly.

The Kroeschell Piping System 



is being installed by many progressive 

 florists. 1 X , 1 >^ or 2-in. threaded pipe, 

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

 on level with greenhouse walks. Yo« do 

 not need deep boilct pits.

and in the part above the firebox there 

 are thirty 3-inch flues, these, of course, 

 being each four feet longer than the 4- 

 inch flues. What horse-power would this 

 boiler rate at, and how much radiation 

 would it have? How much glass could I 

 heat with it? Do you think it would do 

 as much service as a hot water boiler as 

 if run by steam? M. B. S. 



This boiler ought to carry about 15,000 

 feet of glass. The boiler is about sixty 

 horsepower. I cannot figure the radia- 

 tion, as you do not give the length of the 

 boiler. The boiler will heat twice as 

 much glass by steam as by hot water, 

 but it will, of course, entail greater 

 "perating expense. G. T. E. 



LOCATION OF BOILER. 



I am somewhat puzzled to know just 

 vhich would be the most convenient plan 

 for a boiler-room, as I contemplate set- 

 'Jiig new boilers and want to set them so 

 •8 to be most convenient and time saving. 

 Is it practical to excavate for a boiler- 

 I'oom where there is no danger of water 

 sjetting in? We use the Morehead return 

 ■^team trap, and our present boilers are 

 on the level. We want to place the new 

 ones near the driveway which runs north 

 !ind south along the east side of the 

 place, so as to be able to have the coal

shed close to driveway. We started at the 

 west side of the place, and are working 

 east, with houses that run north and 

 south, and expect to fill in the space be- 

 tween the present houses and the drive- 

 way spoken of above in the near future, 

 so that the passage along the north end 

 of the houses will extend to the boiler- 

 shed. Then the boiler-shed will be at the 

 north end of the houses. I am figuring 



on two tubular boilers 5x14 feet. How 

 much glass should these boilers handle on 

 a 12 degree below zero night, to keep 56 

 to 60 degrees? Thev have seventy-two 

 3-inch flues. ' R. H. E. 



It is the most practical plan to exca- 

 vate a pit for the boiler. Do not be 

 afraid to go deep, as there is nothing like 

 head-room in a boiler-house. The location
