The Florists^ Review

OCTOBBB 8, 1914. 



to 55 degrees, I should suggest the use 

 of three 2%-inch flow pipes, with one 

 on each plate and the other under the 

 ridge, and twelve 2-inch return pipes, 

 arranged in three coils of four pipes 

 each, one being on each wall and the 

 other under the benches. Each of the 

 coils ^ould be reduced and connected 

 to the boiler by a 2%-inch return. The 

 piping on the east side of the house 

 should drop under the doorway and then 

 connect with the boiler. The return 

 from the west coil should enter the 

 dwelling cellar. 



As the tighter the glass fits in a 

 greenhouse the easier it is to heat it, 

 it naturally follows that a lapped glass 

 house is the best. Practically speaking, 

 however, the difference in tightness be- 

 tween a house of lapped glass and one 

 of butted glass well fitted is so slight 

 as to be almost negligible. If the glass 

 is not well butted, on the other hand, 

 the difference in tightness and in heat- 

 ing will be greater. 



STEAM FOE AN ILLINOIS HOUSE. 



I am about to pipe a new greenhouse, 

 28x142 and six feet high to the gutters, 

 with two feet of glass in each wall. 

 Please inform me how many runs of 

 1^-inch pipe will be needed to heat 

 this house to 50 degrees in zero weather. 

 Also state the right size of flow. We 

 use high-pressure steam, with a More- 

 head steam trap. The boiler has 2-inch 

 openings. Will it be necessary to have 

 a check valve on each return, or will 

 any other valve answer the purpose! 



A. C. 



For maintaining the temperature 

 stated, eight or nine 1%-inch returns 

 should be used. With high-pressure 

 steam a 2-inch flow pipe will answer, 

 but a 2 14 -inch pipe should be used with 

 low pressure. This estimate is made 

 with the idea that the flow pipe is to be 

 carried overhead to the farther end of 

 the house and the returns distributed 

 on the walls and under the benches. 



If only one house is to be heated it 

 will answer if valves are placed at both 

 ends of about one-half of the coils, 

 but if several houses are to be heated 

 from one boiler, there should also be 

 valves on the main flow and return 

 pipes. Although ordinary valves will 

 answer, check valves may be used on 

 the boiler end of all of the pipes.
