Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 editor of the Heating Department, de- 

 scribing their troubles or asking any 

 questions regarding the heating of green- 

 houses, the piping or boiler-room. But 

 please do not ask us to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. Each boiler adver- 

 tised in The Review is a good boiler, and 

 the advertisers sell them on their merits. 



PROPOSED FLOW IS TOO SMALL. 



I have two houses, of the following 

 dimensi«ns: House No. 1 is 8x45 and 

 house No. 2 is 21x.S3. No. 1 has 4-foot 

 sides, two feet of which are glass. 

 The boiler-house stands at the end of 

 No. 2, and No. 2 is joined to No. 1 

 by a gutter. No. 2 is boarded up to 

 the eaves, a height of four feet. One 

 end is glass from the eaves up to the 

 gable. I have a Wilks heater, 24x42. 

 Under the benches of No. 1 are five 1^4- 

 inch pipes. House No. 2 has two cen- 

 ter and two side benches. Now, will 

 five li^>-inch pipes under the side 

 benches, with one 2-inch riser, be suf- 

 ficient to heat House No. 2 to 4.5 de- 

 grees here, in Michigan? The boiler 

 is only tapped for two 2-inch flows, but 

 for three returns. I shall use two 2- 

 inch returns in house No. 2 and have 

 manifolds tapped for six IMj-inch flows, 

 and can add one more if necessary. 

 The boiler is three feet below the 

 ground. J. J. U. 



The plan proposed for heating the 

 house, 21x33, is a good one. The 

 amount of radiation, however, is about 

 the limit for a 2-inch flow. Even if 

 one 2-inch tapping is all that is avail- 

 able, it will be advisable to use a 2Vi- 

 inch flow pipe, which can be reduced 

 and connected with the boiler. The

214-inch pipe can be used as the main 

 flow pipe, by carrying it under the 

 ridge, or it may be broken up into two 

 2-inch flows, each of which can be car- 

 ried on one of the plates. Two 2- 

 inch and six l^l.-inch returns will give 

 the needed radiation. If it is desired 

 to have all of the returns of the same 

 size, use six 2-inch or nine li/jinch 

 returns, in addition to the two 2-inch 

 flow pipes. 



SIZE OF CHIMNEY. 



We wish to build a square brick 

 chimney, but are in doubt as to what 

 size it must be. We have two boilers, 

 one having a 10-inch flue and the other 

 a 12-inch flue. What width must the 

 chimney be to give a good draft' for

both these boilers? It will be about 

 thirty-five feet high. C. V. G. 



If no other houses are to be added, 

 a brick chimney sixteen inches square, 

 inside measurement, will answer for 

 the two boilers now in use. By add- 

 ing five feet to the height of the chim- 

 ney, its capacity would be sufficiently 

 increased to take care of another boiler 

 like those now in use. 



TWO HOUSES AND A FRAME. 



Please give me information as to the 

 piping of my two houses and the size 

 of boiler that I shall need. The houses 

 are each 32x150. The side walls con- 

 sist of thirty-six inches of concrete and 

 forty-eight inches of glass. The 

 height to the ridge is sixteen feet. I
