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 article adver- 

 tised in this department of The Review 

 is good, and the advertisers sell them on 

 their merits. 



HEATIXG FLOSISTS' DWELUNGS. 



We wish to heat our two dwelling 

 houses from the greenhouse boilers. 

 Would it be practicable? What size of 

 flow and return pipe would be needed f 

 Both flow and return would be under- 

 ground. We carry about twenty pounds 

 of steam on the boilers. One of the 

 dwelling houses is about 200 feet from 

 the boilers and about ten feet above 

 the water line in the boilers. The 

 other dwelling is about 400 feet from 

 the boilers and about fifteen feet above 

 the water line. Would a return steam 

 trap be any advantage in a gravity 

 system! W. C. 



The dwellings could be readily heated 

 by steam from the heating plant if the 

 pipes can be carried underground with 

 a rise all of tbe way. Nothing is said 

 about the size of the dwellings, but if 

 they do not contain more than ten 

 rooms each a 2-inch flow and a 114-iQch 

 return would undoubtedly answer for 

 each of them. 



The pipes should be well insulated 

 to prevent loss of heat. They can be 

 carried in sewer pipe, using 8-inch 

 sewer pipe for the flows and 6-inch 

 for the returns; or, better yet, con- 

 struct a cement conduit, about twelve 

 inches wide and eight inches deep, in 

 which both pipes can be carried. The 

 cover can also be of cement slabs, 

 about 2x14x18 inches. Ordinary as- 

 bestos pipe covering can be used for 

 the pipes. It may be possible to sup- 

 ply both houses from one main, in 

 which case it might be desirable to 

 use 2%-inch and 1%-inch pipes. There 

 would be no occasion for having a 

 steam trap on the system on account 

 of supplying the dwellings, but it might 

 assist in getting a better return from 

 the greenhouse coils. 



HOT WATEB FOB ONE HOUSE. 



I wish to get your advice on heating 

 a house 25x100 feet, six feet to the 

 gutters and about thirteen feet to the 

 ridge, with three feet of glass in the 

 sides. I shall use hot water. My plan

Snccesnors to the 

 John Davis Companr 



Hughson Regulating Valve 



are all satisfied with tbe results it has given, and many 

 duplicate orders is the proof. This Valve 'will main- 

 tain a steady pressure on the low side, no matter 

 how the initial pressure fluctuates. By carrying 40 or 50 

 pounds pressure on the boiler and setting the valve to 

 carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a 

 reserve to fall back on in rase of a sudden drop in tem- 

 perature. Our ne^iv oataloarue Is lust out and if 

 you contemplate making any cnanges you bad better 

 get one — it ia yoiu^ for the asking.
