WHAT THE USERS SAY 



ABOUT 



KROESCHELL BOILERS 



Cast Iron Boilers Crack 



Our large cast Iron sectional boiler cracked one 

 Bection and the header last Sunday. It seemed 

 to turn cold about the same time that the break 

 occurred. By Monday night it was 14° below 

 zero. However, by putting up coal stoves, oil 

 stoves, lamps and pushing up the small furnace 

 we have managed to keep most of our stock in 

 pretty good shape and our total loss, furnace and 

 all, will be between $500 and |600. Just luck 

 that It was not all gone. 



New Kroeschell boiler ordered by telegraph on 

 Sunday, shipped Monday, reached here on Friday; 

 hauled to greenhouse on Saturday and started a 

 Are Sundtly: Just seven days and ten hours after 

 the accident. When dealing with people who will 

 deliver a boiler as quick as that you cannot 

 give up. Yours very truly,

Took Out Cast Iron Boilers for 

 Kroescliell 



I bought two No. 4 Boilers in 1902. They take 

 care of 24,750 square feet of glass and could take 

 care of one-third more. These boilers are rated 

 at 21,000 square feet. They do very satisfactory 

 work, better than any other boiler I ever had. 

 I took out my oast iron boilers and put these in 

 their place. Your boilers save at least 15 per 

 cent coal. JAS. S. KIRK, Chicago, 111. 



Kroeschell Versus Cast Iron 



Have no trouble to keep up temperatures in my 

 houses with the No. 10 Kroeschell Boiler. The 

 boiler has given entire satisfaction. We had a 

 cast iron sectional boiler — I wouldn't have one for 

 a gift any more. LOUIS OTTO, Neenah, Wis. 



Better Than Cast Iron 



^We bought a No. 1 Boiler in 1002. It is very 

 sitisfactory. We had several cast iron boilers, 

 but like yours much better.

Mention The Review when you write. 



The plan of running the mains in the 

 cross walk appears desirable, especially 

 with the slope away from the heater. 

 The deeper the boiler the better will 

 be the circulation,~'and if possible the 

 top of the boiler should be below the 

 level of the retur|«^:'*4 



A PENNSYLVA3««^^0SE HOUSE. 



I have a neV'^^rlrenhouse, 20x100 

 feet, for roses. Tie walls are five feet 

 high. The north "Wsril is all concrete 

 and is six inches thick. The south 

 wall contains twenty-eight inches of 

 glass and the rest of it is concrete. 

 The west gable is concrete to the 

 height of three feet; above that it is 

 glass. The east gable is half glass 

 and the rest is covered by a shed. The 

 house is to be heated by steam to a 

 temperature of 60 degrees, when the 

 outside temperature is at zero. How 

 many l^^-inch pipes will be necessary? 

 The pipes will be hung on the walls 

 only. What size of supply pipe will 

 be needed? The boiler has a grate 

 18x28 inches and is rated at 726 square 

 feet of radiation. Is this boiler large 

 enough, or will it be necessary to put 

 in another section? A gravity system 

 will be used. P. N. 



A rose house 20x100 can be heated 

 with steam to 60 degrees by using one 

 2-inch overhead main and nine 1^4- 

 inch returns in coils on the walls. The 

 odd pipe should be on the south wall.

and the coils should start at the middle 

 of the west end of the house and 

 follow the wall around to the east end, 

 where the pipes on each wall should 

 be joined and connected with the 

 boiler by means of a 1^-inch return. 

 As there will be but little more than 

 500 square feet of radiating surface, 

 the present boiler should be amply 

 large. 



A Steady 

 Pressure 



will always 

 be main- 

 tained in 

 voar steam pipes, no matter 

 now the pressure at the boiler 

 fluctuates, if you equip your 

 main lines with these valves. 

 Carry 40 or 50 pounds pressure 

 on the boiler, set the 



Hughson 

 Regulating Valve 



to carry 5 or 10 pounds on the 

 line and you will always have a 

 reserve in case of a sudden drop 

 in temperature. This valve 

 saves both fuel and worry. Ask 

 for catalogue and partici^ars.
