The Florists' Review 



August 22, 1912. 



WHICH DO YOU WANT? 



CAST IRON BOILERS-FOOL ECONOMY (false ratinge, fuel 

 waste, danger of breakdowns, dealers' profits), or 



KROESCHELL BOILERS-FUEL ECONOMY (honest ratings, 

 safety, quick heat, no boiler pits, no dealers' profits).

WHAT THE USERS SAY 



ABOUT 



KROESCHELL BOILERS 



Kroescheli Better Than Cast Iron 



I bought a No. 6 Boiler In 1903. It bas now 

 10,000 sq. ft. of glass, and we could add 3300 

 more. This ii ahead of five or six oast iron boil- 

 ers which I have used. I saved $50 per season 

 on the coal bill.

Kroescheli Versus Cast Iron 



I have one of your new 1910 model Kroescheli 

 Boilers, and same bas proven very satisfactory. 

 We have no trouble to keep temperatures in the 

 coldest weather. We Are once or twice during 

 the day, and once at night, and have had the 

 liest satisfaction I have ever experienced in a 

 boiler. Formerly I had two cast iron hollers; 

 one cracked and I took both of these boilers out. 

 My coal bill with the cast iron boilers ran from 

 $195 to $207 per season during the past seven 

 years. This year, with your boiler and soft coal, 

 my coal bill was only $103, and I still have some 

 coal left. Your boiler if. the best and cheapest 

 on the marl^et, not alone for the price, but also 

 in fuel saving. I am very glad that yon are so 

 well known in Buffalo, N. Y. I have never heard 

 anything but praise, in which I Join heartily. 

 Wishing you every success, I remain,

Cost of Heating One-Half Less Than 

 With Cast Iron Boilers 



I bought a No. 3 Boiler in 1901. We had a 

 corrugated cast iron fire box boiler and a sec- 

 tional cast iron boiler before we bought yours 

 In 1901. The cost of the heating with your boiler 

 is one-half less than it was with my cast iron 

 boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler, which we bought re- 

 cently of you, is not being run to its capacity.

Kroescheli Boiler Durable 



Have 20,000 sq. ft. of glass. Can keep 60* in 



coldest weather. Have one boiler 15 years, only 



expense one set of flues. Kroescheli Boiler is so 



satisfactory tliat I do not care to try any other.

the boilpr, but have about six Inches 

 more fall. This boiler works about per- 

 fectly with two coils on, but not so 

 well with the third one on. Still, it 

 does much better work than the other. 

 Circumstances at the time compelled 

 me to place the boilers and pipe in this 

 way, but the arrangement was some- 

 what contrary to my ideas. I was 

 afraid the flows on the second boiler 

 would be too small, and I thought the 

 pipe should all be above the boiler 

 and should not be brought down till 

 the very last. What I wish to know 

 is: Can I drop the lower end of the 

 coils at the first boiler, say six inches 

 or a foot, and get results something 

 like those from the other boiler? And 

 can I pipe each house half from each 

 boiler, so as to fire only one boiler 

 during mild weather? Or could I pipe 

 all with coils on the walls at the same 

 level, and connect them so that each 

 boiler could heat any coil? I have two 

 radiators in rooms built east of the 

 middle house; these are fed by the 

 north boiler. I have been told that 

 the sectional boiler is large enough to 

 heat all the houses. The second boil- 

 er's returns are of 2-inch pipe also. My 

 location is eastern Indiana.

Several important points have been 

 overlooked in describing the heating 

 plants, such as the temperature de-

sired in the houses and the number of 

 return pipes in each coil. 



As a rule, the best results are ob- 

 tained when the returns are kept as 

 high as possible above the boiler, pro- 

 vided a slight slope at least is given 

 them, and the larger the flow pipes, 

 within reasonable limits, the better. 



There is nothing in the explanation 

 which gives any idea why the smaller 

 flows and lower returns are giving the 

 better results. Such would be the case 

 provided the flow pipes are put in so 

 that they run uphill from the boiler; 

 if the two 3-inch flow pipes run uphill, 

 the ends next to the boiler should be 

 raised so that they will have a slight 

 fall. 



The main flow and return pipes can 

 be so connected that either boiler or 

 both of them can be used for heating 

 the two houses.

Ottumwa, la. — C. Kranz has installed 

 a new boiler and overhauled his heat- 

 ing systehi. He recently added a new 

 automobile to his delivery outfit. He 

 grows a general line of stock. His 

 establishment, including his residence 

 and grounds, occupies an entire city 

 block, and more than an acre of the 

 space is under glass.
