Where There Is CoodeHsafion 



— there is need fi)r a Morehead Steam Trap, Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly — return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

GREENHOUSES ANB BESIDEKCE. 



How many coils of 2-inch pipe will 

 be needed to heat our three carnation 

 houses? The outside temperature in 

 this part of Wisconsin sometimes goes 

 down to 20 degrees below zero. We 

 heat with hot water. The houses are 

 24x85, 22x85 and 21x85. The north 

 wall is exposed and contains three feet 

 of glass above three feet of wooden 

 wall. The east end is also exposed; 

 three feet of the wall is wood, the 

 rest glass. The west end is protected 

 by a workroom. The south wall ad- 

 joins a rose house. These three houses 

 are all connected and are sixteen feet- 

 high to the ridge. There are ten 

 benches in the three houses. Will one 

 2% -inch overhead flow pipe heat four 

 2-inch returns better than one 3-ijich 

 flow would heat eight 2-inch returns? 



We also wish to run a flow pipe 

 from the nearest greenhouse to the res- 

 idence, thirty feet away, using a larger 

 flow pipe for the residence and for one 

 coil under a bench. The residence 

 contains eight rooms, about 12x16 feet, 

 with 9-foot ceilings. The boiler is a 

 tubular one, 5x12 feet, with seventy 

 3-inch flues, and a grate S^^xo feet. 

 Will this be large enough? These 

 three houses have been rebuilt. The 

 residence will be about 190 feet from 

 the boiler. The main flow is 6-inch 

 pipe. J. N. C. 



It will be well to use two 2i^-inch 

 flow pipes in each of the houses, to "be 

 located on the plates. However, if it 

 is more convenient to have one 3-inch 

 flow under the ridge of each house, this 

 will be satisfactory. For returns use 

 nine 2-inch pipes in the 24-foot house 

 and eight in each of the others. The 

 north house, which has three feet of 

 exposed glass, should have two addi- 

 tional pipes. 



The amount of radiation required 

 for the residence will depend on the 

 amount of glass in the windows, as 

 well as on the construction of the 

 house. If it is well built and no room 

 has more than two windows, with fif- 

 teen square feet of opening each, the 

 rooms on the first floor can be heated 

 with 100 square feet of radiation each, 

 with perhaps a little more for the 

 living room, and from flfty to sixty 

 feet should answer for the second floor 

 rooms, unless they are used as living

A safe and sure means of keeping 

 Bteain lines free of condensation is as 

 impoitant to the efficiency of a heat- 

 ing system as water to the growing of 

 a plant. 



"Detroit" Traps drain all steam 

 lines of condensation and automati- 

 cally return it to the boiler. Not a 

 drop is wasted . None of the heat is lost. 



There is nothing complicated about 



the construction of "Delr»it" Traps. 

 Every working part is on the outside 

 and interchaageab'e Water inlt- 1 and 

 outlet are on the same side. Steam 

 and air valves are in the same ca^t 

 iron body (renewable discs). A shock 

 absorber placed at one end of the base 

 receives the fall weight of the water as 

 the tank tilts, relieving the stress and 

 strain on the trunnion and eliminat- 

 ing the noise usually too evident with 

 the ordinary tiltinar trap.
